HARDAS, J. DATE : 25th October, 2010 PER COURT 1. This is an application, by the applicant, who is accused in Crime No.88/2010 registered by the Jilha Peth Police Station, District Jalgaon punishable under Sections 376 and 506 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. It is alleged against the applicant that the applicant taking advantage of the prosecutrix, who was 18 years of age, committed forcible sexual intercourse on several occasions on the ground that he has divine power. The first information came to be lodged in 2010 i.e. after the initial sexual intercourse sometime in the year 2005. Learned Counsel for the applicant has stated before me that the applicant would not reside in Jalgaon district but would undertake to reside at Nasik. The prosecution has apprehension that the applicant, if released on bail is likely to tamper with the prosecution evidence or influence the 2 prosecution witnesses, therefore, stands allayed. Even on the facts of the present case I am inclined to allow this application. 3. The application is, therefore, allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a P.R. bond in the sum of Rs. 15,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. The applicant shall not reside within Jalgaon district but shall reside at Nasik. The applicant shall furnish his full and correct postal address to Jilha Peth Police Station, Jalgaon within 15 days of his residing at Nasik. The applicant shall also seek permission of this Court before leaving Nasik and proceeding for any surgical intervention, which may be advised by the Medical Officers. It is needless to state that for the purpose of attending various dates in the criminal case, which is pending at Jalgaon, the applicant shall be permitted to enter Jalgaon. 4. Application allowed as indicated above. ( P.V. HARDAS, J.) (vvr/4214.10criappln)
