1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRI. APPLICATION NO. 1967 OF 2009 Vishnudas Rajaram Petkar, .. Applicant Vs State of Maharashtra .. Respondent Mr. Rahul S. Kulkarni, Advocate for the Applicant. Mrs. P .P. Shinde, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 01/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C. R. No.70 of 2009 of Hupri Police Station, Tal. Hatkanangle, Dist- Kolhapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections T 2 366(A) and 376 of IPC. 3. I perused the FIR. The prosecutrix has stated in detail as to how she called the applicant on phone and thereafter they both moved from place to place and stayed in different lodges and had sexual intercourse. Nowhere in the statement she has made any grievance against the applicant, except that he did not allow her to contact her family members. It is true that the prosecutrix is hardly 15 years old. The applicant also is hardly 19 years old boy and is a student. Keeping that in view and considering the manner in which the applicant and the complainant had sexual intercourse on several occasions, I am inclined to enlarge him on bail. Hence, the following order. The applicant-Vishnudas Rajaram Petkar is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions that the applicant shall not enter the village Rendal, Tal.Hatkanangle, Dist-Kolhapur till conclusion of the trial. The applicant shall inform his address where he proposes to reside during this period to the concerned police station and shall report to the nearest police station from the place of his residence on every alternate Saturday between 6 and 7 pm till 3 conclusion of the trial. While passing this order, I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. Application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
