Heard the Counsel for the applicant and the APP. 2. The applicant has been arrested in connection with the offence punishable under Sections 376, 363 and 366(A) of I.P.C. It is alleged the applicant, who was a young boy of 23 years had eloped a girl below 16 years of age and they stayed together for 1-1/2 month. After the honeymoon was over, the boy refused to fulfill his promise to marry. Therefore, a complaint was lodged. Admittedly, the girl was about 16 years of age and the girl had eloped with the boy and upon his refusal to 2 marry her, the present complaint is filed. Prima facie, therefore, offence under Sections 376, 363 and 366A of I.P.C. is not attracted. In any case, the charge-sheet is filed. The continued detention of the applicant therefore, in my view, is not necessary. 3. The applicant therefore be released on bail in the sum of Rs.5,000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. He shall report the concerned Police Station as and when called. The Application is disposed of. (V.M.KANADE,J (V.M.KANADE,J (V.M.KANADE,J.)
