Mr.Rajesh More APP for the State. Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 25.7.2006. PC 1. This is an application for grant of bail. The applicant is shown as an accused in C.R.No.53/2006 registered by the Junarajwada police station for alleged offences under Sections 376(2), 354 & 109 of IPC. This Court has earlier passed an order taking a very serious view of the matter and directing that the matter which involved sexual exploitation of young women in an institution run by the State. The present applicant alongwith some of the other accused were office bearers in the said institution. The present : 2 : applicant was a Sewing instructor who was supposed to teach the women the art of sewing. The statement of the prosecutrix indicates that she has been raped on 2 occasions by one of the accused by name Pawar and this she disclosed to the other accused persons. They turned blind on that. As far as present applicant is concerned, he has not only not helped her but himself molested her when she came to disclose this fact to him. The present applicant prima facie, appears to be guilty of intentionally omitting to disclose about the first rape committed on the prosecutrix. Had he disclosed about the rape committed by Pawar, he could have prevented the 2nd rape committed by Pawar and has facilitated the continuation of such crime in the institution. In the circumstances, not a fit case for grant of bail. Rejected. : 3 : (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
