DATED : 28TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 28TH APRIL, 2009. DATED : 28TH APRIL, 2009. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.175 of 2008 of Pandharpur Town police station, Pandharpur, District Solapur. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and one another for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 363, 366(a), 376 of IPC. 3. Mr.Chaudhari, learned counsel for the applicant at the outset invited my attention to the statement of the prosecutrix and submitted that the only role attributed to the present applicant is that he helped the main accused - Hanmant Anil Abgangrao for abducting the complainant. There is no allegation against the present applicant under section 376 of 2 2 2 IPC. I have perused the statement of the prosecutrix. The submission advanced by Mr.Choudhari seems to be correct. The only role attributed to the present applicant is that he helped the main accused for abducting the prosecutrix. The main allegation of rape is only against co-accused - Hanmant Abgangrao. Keeping that in view and considering that the charge-sheet has already been filed, I am satisfied that continued detention of the present applicant is not necessary. Hence the following order: . The applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount subject to the condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on the first Saturday of every month between 10 am and 11 am 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.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.) (D.B.Bhosale, J.)
