O R D E R This petition is for bail. 2. The alleged offences are under Sections 366A and 376 read with Section 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 3 (1) read with (xi) of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. According to prosecution, daughter of defacto complainant was kidnapped and she was subjected to rape by first accused. Thereafter, he handed over the girl to second accused and he also committed rape on her. The incident happened on 26.3.2010. 3. Learned counsel for petitioner submitted that first accused is already granted bail by the Sessions Court. Petitioner is second accused. He was arrested on 31.3.2010. He is in custody for the past 65 days. 4. This petition is not opposed. On hearing both sides, I find that there is no ground to refuse bail to second accused, since first accused is already granted bail. Hence, the following order is passed: Petitioner shall be released on bail on his executing a BA NO.3159/10 2 bond for Rs.50,000/- (Rupees fifty thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the court concerned, on the following conditions : (i) Petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer on every Monday and Thursday between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. until further orders.
