Reading of the complaint itself shows that the complainant was sleeping in the hut along with her husband. The applicant entered in the hut and after uttering certain foul words he removed her clothes and committed rape on her. In her version, the reaction of the husband is absent. All this has happened, according to her, when she was sleeping next to her husband. The storey sought to be described in the complaint, if considered in its proper perspective, one has to reach to the conclusion that, prima facie; this a case for grant of bail in favour of the applicant. In the circumstances, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant, subject to the following conditions: (a) The applicant, arrested in connection with C.R.No.I-54/2007 registered with Kalwa Police Station, Thane shall be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one or two local sureties to make up the said amount.

(c) The order of bail will be given effect only after the applicant furnishes to the investigating officer the details about his place of residence and address where he proposes to stay after he is enlarged on bail. - 3 - The applicant will not change his residential address thereafter till the conclusion of trial without prior intimation to the investigating officer. (d) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly, make any inducement or threat or pressurise any prosecution witnesses and shall not in any manner tamper with the prosecution evidence.

It is needless to mention that breach of any of the conditions by the applicant shall result in cancellation of bail.
