The applicant is seeking anticipatory bail in C.R.No. I-279 of 2008 of Virar police station, Vasai, Dist.Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 376, 498-A, 504, 506, 323 read with 34 of IPC. 3. I have perused the FIR lodged by the prosecutrix. She has specifically stated as to how the applicant committed rape on her on 5/6 occasions. Having considered the statement of the prosecutrix, I am not inclined to grant this application for anticipatory bail. Hence, the application is rejected. It is open to the applicant to surrender and apply for regular bail. The Sessions Court shall consider his regular bail application, if filed, on merits and uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.) (D.B.BHOSALE, J.)
