MP 1 BA1712_11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.1712 OF 2011 Anant @ Anna Shankar Shivade ... Applicant Versus The State of Maharashtra ... Respondent Mr.V.V.Purwant i/b. Mr.S.B.Patil & Mr. G.D.Bhagat,Advocate for the Applicant. Mr. Y. M. Nakhwa, APP for the Respondent State. CORAM : J. H. BHATIA, J. DATE : 18TH NOVEMBER 2011 P. C. : The applicant seeks to be released on bail in crime No.30 of 2011 registered at Kinhavali Police Station, District Thane for the offences punishable under Sections 376, 363, 506 r/w. Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. The prosecution case, in brief, appears to be that the accused / present applicant approached the prosecutrix, a girl aged about 19 years, and informed her that her cousin Ramesh had met with an accident of motorcycle and was injured. He asked her to accompany him and also asked her to take some money to meet the expenses of the hospital. Due to this representation, the prosecutrix accompanied the accused. At some distance, a white-colour Maxx Jeep was standing. The accused dragged the girl into that vehicle, and thereafter, she was taken to a lonely place where he committed rape on her. The incident occurred in the evening of 12.06.2011. After the incident, with the help of a person proceeding by scooter, she went to Village Dolkhamb, and from there, she went to Shahpur by S.T. Bus. From there, she went to police station by rickshaw. The accused was following her on motorcycle. When he learnt that she was going to the police station, he ran away. It appears that the MP 2 BA1712_11 offence was registered on 13.06.2011 at about 11.30 a.m. Immediately, police proceeded to the spot of incident and recovered certain articles, and thereafter she was referred for medical examination. Medical examination report corroborates her version. There is no material to show that the prosecutrix had any reason to falsely implicate the present applicant. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances, it will not be in the interests of justice to grant bail to the applicant. 3. Therefore, the application stands rejected. (J. H. BHATIA, J)
