DECEMBER 13, 2004. DECEMBER 13, 2004. P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard Counsel for the parties. Perused the record. 2. Even going by the allegations in the First Information Report as it is, it is seen that the affair between the Applicant and Ranjana was going on since about eight months. The said Ranjana responded to the call of Applicant. At best, it is a case of Ranjana being invited by the Applicant but the fact remains that the relationship between : 2 : them was obviously on account of consent of the said Ranjana. There is nothing on record to suggest that Ranjana was not in a position to understand the implications of her conduct. Taking overall view of the matter, to my mind, the Applicant deserves to be granted anticipatory bail on the following strict conditions : (a) The Applicant is granted anticipatory bail in connection with C.R.No.57/04 registered with Nhava Sheva Police Station on executing personal bond in the sum of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with one or two local sureties in the like amount.

(d) The Applicant shall not influence the prosecution witnesses or tamper with the prosecution evidence in any manner whatsoever. . Application disposed of on the above terms. A.M.KHANWILKAR, J.
