The State of Maharashtra .Respondent Mr.Prashant Badole, Advocate, for the Applicants Mr.J.P.Kharge, APP, for the Respondent - State CORAM : R.C.CHAVAN, J. DATE : 14TH SEPTEMBER, 2011 P.C. . Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. 2. This is an application for bail by two persons, who are arrested in connection with C.R.No.68 of 2011 for the offences punishable under Sections 376(g), 342, 506, 109 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Karveer Police Station, Kolhapur and who are alleged to have indulged in a gang rape of a 16 years old girl. FIR shows that on 30th 2 BA 1215-2011 March, 2011 the victim's aunt called the victim to her house where the two applicants are alleged to have committed rape upon her. The victim gave a report about this incident on 11th April, 2011. Before this on 10th April, 2011 the victim had given a report which led to registration of C.R.No.67 of 2011 for the offences punishable under Sections 452, 354, 504, 506 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code registered with Karveer Police Station, Kolhapur against the very same applicants. The report shows that on 30th March, 2011 she had accompanied her aunt Reshma to Goldsmith shop for sale of an ear ring. On 3rd April, 2011 she states having again accompanied aunt to the Goldsmith shop and after refunding the amount the ear ring was taken back. On 4th April, 2011 there seems to have some discussion amongst family member as to whether aunt was involved in dealing with that ear ring and the family elders seems to have suggested to the victim 3 BA 1215-2011 that the victim should take blame on her. On 10th April, 2011 she alleges that the two applicants came to her house and outraged her modesty. The report does not refer to any rape committed on 30th March, 2011. Considering this, applicants' being in custody pending the trial may not be necessary though the learned APP has very strong objection. Applicants be released on bail on their furnishing P.R.Bond of Rs.25,000/- each with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs.25,000/- till the trial is over. 3. Bail Application stands disposed of. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
