1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY, APPELLATE SIDE NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR District : Criminal Application No. 1680 of 2007 Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders CORAM: C. L. PANGARKAR J. Dated: 22 nd h June, 2007. Heard. This is an application under Section 438 of the Criminal procedure Code. Applicant is a regtired teacher from Z. P. school and is also President of Datta Mandir Sansthan Digras. One Rajdhar Guru was holding the post of Secretary of trust and used to reside in 2 the temple itself. It is alleged that he developed illicit relations with one Anita Hambarde. It is also alleged that Rajdhar had given assurance to Anita that he sould marry her and under that pretext he used to have frequently sexual intercourse with her. As a result she became pregnant. It is alleged that subsequently the applicant took her to Murtizapur and terminated the pregnancy. Therefore, she lodged a report. It is alleged that the present applicant has active role in the case. Therefore, the applicant apprehends arrest. The learned counsel for the State fairly conceeded that there is no involvement of the present applicant so far as offence unse Section 376 is concerned. Police has registered 3 offences under Section 376, 417, 313, 504 and 506 Indian Penal Code. The applicant is certainly not concerned so far as rape is concerned and even cheating is concerned. This is not the allegation of prosecution that he and Rajdhar had illicit relations with Anita. In the circumstances I find that this is a fit case where anticipatory bail should be granted. Hence the order: In the event of arrest in Crime No. 32/07 the applicant be released on his entering into personal bond in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount. JUDGE svk
