(ORAL) Petitioner seeks the concession of regular bail in a case of rape registered at the instance of Smt.Krishna Devi, @ Rani, wife of Gupta caste Sansi R/o Sansi Basti, Dhuri, aged 35 years, alleging that on August 16, 2010 she had been given a lift by Bachi on his scooter. He was followed by two other boys. She was allegedly taken to a room on the pretext that Crl. Misc. No.M-12129 of 2011 [2] petitioner was feeling thirsty. Thereafter she was allegedly raped by three boys. The statement of the complainant- prosecutrix stands already recorded. It is admitted by her that the mother of the petitioner, namely, Rodi had lodged an FIR against the husband of the complainant on January 7,2006 for trespassing and assault registered at Police Station, Dhuri, District Sangrur and that her family was not in talking terms with the family of the petitioner. As per the MLR, no injuries were suffered by the prosecutrix. In view of the alleged motive having been, to some extent, established against the prosecutrix coupled with other circumstances which are not to be considered in details, the petitioner can be granted the concession of bail as he has already suffered detention w.e.f. October 5, 2010; prosecutrix having already been examined and chances of tampering with the evidence being remote. Petition is allowed. Petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his furnishing bail bonds/ surety bonds to the satisfaction of the trial Court. Nothing mentioned in this order will effect the merits of the case.
