Heard Mr. Rananware, the learned advocate for the applicant and Mrs. Newton, the learned APP for the State. 2. I have gone through the First Information Report and the other annexures to the bail application. 3. The perusal of the first information report shows that the allegation of serious offence i.e. of rape, are levelled against the co- accused-Balu Budhe-father of the applicant- and father-in-law of the first informant. A reading of the first information suggests that the husband i.e. the present applicant was not told about the incidents of rape by the first informant for quite some time and that when they were told, the applicant did not believe the first informant. There is a jpc ba1091-11.sxw 2 vague allegation that the applicant and his mother- Smt. Parubai, who is also an accused in the case, abetted the main accused Balu Budhe for committing rape of the victim. 4. The co-accused Smt. Parubai has been granted anticipatory bail by the Court of Sessions. The applicant is in custody since 13th June, 2011. 5. Under the circumstances, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 6. The application is allowed. 7. The applicant is ordered to be released on bail in the sum of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with one surety in like amount, on the condition that he shall attend the concerned police station and make himself available for investigation/interrogation, as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
