Applicant -versus The State of Maharashtra .. Respondent. Mr. J. D. Mane, for the Applicant. Mrs. S.D. Shinde, APP for the Respondent State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: 8th December, 2010 P.C. 1. This is an application for bail by a person who is alleged to have abducted 7 year girl. On 7th July,2010, when the girl was not found, her mother and other relations made search and found the applicant coming with the victim. The applicant left the victim and ran away, but was caught on the same day. The victim told her mother that the applicant had lifted her and taken her to the outskirts of the village. He had also threatened the victim that if she tells anything to anyone, he would throw her in a nearby well and kill her. He also kept the victim knee deep in the well water by holding her neck. When she stated that she will not tell anything to anybody about the incident, then the applicant was curiously bringing back the victim to the village. The victim's mother and 2 APPLN 5174 OF 2010.sxw uncle found the applicant and the applicant ran away. Investigation is complete and the chargesheet has been filed. The Medical report about the injuries on the person of victim is made available for my perusal. It is not part of chargesheet. It shows that the victim had two abrasions on the left and right side of neck, which would corroborate the words of the victim. All the same, since on the allegations made the applicant was in fact bringing the victim back to village and is not alleged to have either molested or taken her for any other purpose, the applicant will have to be bailed out. Therefore, the applicant arrested in CR No.285 of 2010, registered at Mohol Police station, for the offence punishable under Sections 363, 366(A), 323, 506 of the Indian Penal Code, be released on bail on his furnishing PR Bond n the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the aggregate sum of Rs. 25,000/-.
