CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. CORAM : SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATED : 27th August, 2008. DATED : 27th August, 2008. DATED : 27th August, 2008. P.C.: 1. Heard the learned Advocate for the Applicants and the learned APP for the State. 2. The applicants are seeking anticipatory bail in FIR No.175 of 2008 of Versova Police Station, Mumbai. The said case is mainly under Section 376 of IPC. 3. The case of the prosecutrix is that she became acquainted with Khurshid who is brother of applicant No.1 and son of applicant No.2. Both of them fell in love and they had an affair. The prosecutrix was about 25 years at the time of the ..(2).. incident. On account of the affair, sexual relations took place between the prosecutrix and Khurshid. The case of the prosecutrix is that thereafter Khurshid refused to marry her and on 25.6.2008 he came to her house and had forcible sexual intercourse with her. 4. It is not the prosecution case that the present applicants in any way aided or abetted Khurshid in any manner in the commission of rape. The case against the applicants is that on 26.6.2008 they visited the prosecutrix and at that time the prosecutrix informed them of the incident of 25.6.2008. Whereupon applicant No.2 told her that she should go back to Delhi otherwise her son would continue to trouble the prosecutrix and he may also threw acid on her. Thus, it is seen that only role attributed to applicant No.2 is that she warned the prosecutrix in respect of Khurshid. No direct threats have been given by applicant No.2 to the prosecutrix. No role is attributed to applicant No.1 in the incident. 5. Both the applicants are ladies. Moreover, the applicant No.1 is a young girl of 17 years and ..(3).. applicant No.2 is aged about 50 years. Looking to this fact and the other facts of this case, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicants. 6. In the event of arrest, the applicants - Ms.Afreen d/o Maqbool Siddiqui and Mrs.Moshina w/o Maqbool Siddiqui to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rs.Twenty Five Thousand Only) each with one or two sureties to make up the said amount. The applicant shall report to Versova Police Station as and when required, till conclusion of the trial. 7. Criminal Application is disposed of accordingly. (SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J.)
