Mr. SS Goripuria, DAG, Hry M.M.S.BEDI,J. The petitioner seeks the concession of bail in a case registered at the instance of brother of prosecutrix X ( name concealed) alleging that the petitioner had enticed her to go to different places and he committed rape against her wishes. Without expression of any opinion on merits of the case it is sufficient to observe that the prosecutrix has already been examined. Her cross-examination has already been conducted on 12.3.2009. The petitioner has been custody since 2.2.2008. Prima facie the petitioner has got a good defence that the prosecutrix was major and had gone with him to different places with her consent. Chances of tampering with the evidence are remote. The petition is allowed and the petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds/surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court subject to the condition that he will not leave India without the permission of the court.
