The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No. 119 of 2008 of Bhadrakali police station, Nashik. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 376 and 366-A read with 34 of IPC. 3. It appears that the prosecutrix Rekha and the co-accused Shekhar, both aged 15 years, had love affair and they eloped on 11.4.2008. The allegation against the present applicant is that he induced the prosecutrix to elope and accompanied her and Shekhar to his aunt’s place. There are no allegations against the present applicant attracting the provisions of section 376 of IPC. Looking to the nature of allegations against the applicant and the manner in which the alleged incident occurred, as seen from the FIR, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence, the following order. . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that he shall report to the concerned police station every alternate Saturday between 10 and 11 am for a period of six months. . 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 without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
