Respondent Mr. V.V.Purwant, Advocate for the Applicant. Mrs. S.D.Shinde, APP, for the Respondent. CORAM : D.B.BHOSALE, J. DATE : 06/07/2009 PC: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP for the respondent. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C. R.No.37 of 2009 of Satara Taluka Police Station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 376 and 341 of IPC and 3(1)(xi)(xii) and 3(2)(v) of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act. 3. I perused the statement of the prosecutrix, medical papers and Chemical Analyzer's report. T 2 4. Mr. Purvant, learned counsel for the applicant, submitted that medical evidence does not show any signs of rape. He submitted that the doctor has given his impressions stating that the prosecutrix was habituated to intercourse and there were no injuries on external genitalia or any other part of her body. The vaginal swab was collected by the doctor and sent it to Chemical Analyzer. The C.A. Report does not support the prosecution case. In short, he submitted that the medical evidence and the Chemical analyzer's report does not support the prosecution case as reflected in the statement of the Prosecutrix. Ms. Shinde, learned APP, could not point out anything from the medical papers in support of the prosecution case. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail on stringent conditions. The applicant- Mahesh Ganpat Jadhav is directed to be enlarged on bail in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with two local sureties to make up the said amount, subject to the conditions that the applicant shall not enter the jurisdiction of Satara Taluka till conclusion of the trial. The applicant shall inform his address where he proposes to reside during this period and shall report to the nearest police station from the place of his residence on every Saturday between 6 and 7 pm 3 till conclusion of the trial. While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case uninfluenced by the observations made in this order. The application is disposed of. (D. B. Bhosale, J.)
