The applicant, maternal aunt of the main accused who abducted a minor girl and had forcible sexual intercourse with her, seeks anticipatory bail. The allegation is that the applicant asked the victim to sleep with the main offender since according to the applicant they were eventually to marry. The learned counsel for the applicant points out that the principal offender has been bailed out by the trial Court. In view of this, there is no point in seeking the applicant's custody. Hence, though the learned APP has a strong objection, the application is allowed. In the event of his 2 CA-5809.10 arrest the applicant be released on bail in C.R. No.154 of 2010 of Shivaji Nagar Police Station, Ambarnath, District Thane on her furnishing P.R.

The applicant shall not, directly or indirectly, make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him/her from disclosing such facts to the Court or to any police officer and she shall not leave the country without the prior permission of the trial Court. 2.
