Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Coram : R.S.Mohite,J Date : 19.7.2006. PC 1. The applicant who is a young married lady and who resides at Kolhapur is shown as an accused in C.R.No.24/2006 registered by the Sangmeshwar police station, Ratnagiri, for alleged offences under Sections 376, 415, 420 & 511 r/w 34 of IPC. It appears to be the case of the Complainant that she was engaged with one Imran on 15.10.2002 and her parents spent amount of Rs.70,000/- for engagement ceremony. Thereafter she stayed : 2 : at Kolhapur in the house of the present applicant with Imran and his parents. Thereafter she was taken to Indonesia where Imran sexually molested her. The applicant then demanded amount of Rs.50,000/- from her mother in June-2004 and her mother paid Rs.10,000/-. Thereafter Imran did not marry her. As far as offence under Section 376 r/w 511 is concerned, there is absolutely nothing to suggest any role of the present applicant. The Complainant is a major girl. Even before marriage, she went away to Indonesia alongwith Imran. As far as present applicant is concerned, there is allegation of demand in June-2004 and the complaint is filed after about 2 years in April-2006. In my view, investigation can proceed without custodial interrogation. It is therefore, directed that in the event of her arrest in connection with C.R.No.24/2006 registered by the Sangmeshwar : 3 : police station, Ratnagiri, the applicant may be released on bail in the sum of Rs.10,000/- with one surety in the like amount subject to the condition that she will report to the investigating officer as and when called upon to do so in writing. Application stands disposed off. (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J) (R.S.Mohite,J)
