1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH, NAGPUR. Criminal Application No. 2914 of 2009 Ganpat v. The State of Maharashtra -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Office notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. Court's or Judge's Orders. Mr S.K. Bhoyar, Adv for applicant Mr D.P. Thakare, APP for State Coram: A.P. Bhangale, J Dated : 31st August 2009 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. Applicant is praying for bail in Crime No. 17/2009 registered with Police Station, Samudrapur, District Wardha under Sections 376 , 452 and 406 of the Indian Penal Code. 2. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that there was long standing dispute between applicant and victim’s father and political rivalry between them. He further contends that Dr Bonde at whose private clinic victim was allegedly removed, has not been cited as a witness. 3. As against learned APP opposed the bail application that offence is serious one and girl who is found to be between the age of 14 and 16 years, was made a victim by applicant seeing her lonely in her house. 4. It appears from record that victim girl was threatened after rape was committed on her that she will be killed if she disclosed the incident to her parents. Medical examination report shows that hymen was found 2 ruptured. Looking to the age of victim-girl and the aforesaid circumstances, this is not a fit case for release of applicant-accused on bail. In view of the likelihood of long term sentence, if released on bail, applicant may abscond and try to tamper with prosecution evidence. Application is accordingly rejected. Judge. hsj
