1 FARAD CONTINUATION SHEET No. IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD Criminal Application No. 1681 of 2010 in Criminal Appeal No. 177 of 2010 ( Nitin Baliram Kamble V. The State) Office Notes,Office Memoranda of Coram,appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders Court's or Judge's orders Mr.S.P.Urgunde, Advocate for the applicant Mr. N.H.Borade, APP for the respondent / State PER COURT : 1. Heard. 2. The applicant/appellant now seeks bail, pending the disposal of the appeal. Having gone through the record of the lower Court, I found a strong case against the appellant. The victim is a girl aged about 17 or 18 years old. Without going into the question, as to whether she was minor or major, it is an admitted fact that the appellant knew the victim since prior to the incident, and it is said that they even had a relationship. In this background, if the victim alleges rape against the appellant and if the medical evidence supports such claim, the case against the 2 appellant becomes strong. The learned Judge of the lower court having seen the witnesses believed them. At this stage, one may not be able to brush aside the evidence for releasing the appellant on bail. The appellant is in custody from last one month, and I think, this appeal can be disposed of soon after the vacation is over in the month of June, 2010. 3. The application for bail is rejected. 4. Hearing of the appeal is expedited. 5. The office shall prepare the paper-book quickly and place the matter first on board, in hearing category, on 24th June, 2010. 6th May, 2010 ( A.V.NIRGUDE,J. ) srm/
