This petition for bail has been filed by the petitioner, who is an accused for offences punishable under Sections 366, 120B and 34 of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the entire allegation is absolutely false and frivolous and even the alleged victim woman in her statement under Section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure did not support the allegation of the prosecution. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that subsequently in her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, she took a different stand, but the learned court below did not rely on her statement with regard to offences punishable under Section 376 of the Indian Penal Code and took cognizance only for offences punishable under Section 366A of the Indian Penal Code. Learned counsel for the petitioner also avers that the complaint had been filed by the father of the alleged victim, but subsequently he has filed the compromise petition along with the accused persons in the court below on 04.04.2009.
