{1} IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY BENCH AT AURANGABAD CRIMINAL APPLICATION NO.556 OF 2010 Trimbak Kisan Kole and Another APPLICANTS VERSUS The State of Maharashtra RESPONDENT ....... Mr. Vevek Dhage, Advocate for applicants Mrs.Yogita M.Kshirsagar, APP for respondent State ....... [CORAM : A.V.POTDAR, J.] DATE: 25th February 2010 PER COURT: 1. This is a second round of litigation by which the applicants have prayed to release them on bail in connection with CR No.144/2009, as earlier application of the applicants was rejected on 18.01.2010. 2. Present application is moved on two grounds viz, in the earlier order it was observed that as the investigation is in progress it is not safe to release the applicants and secondly according to learned counsel for the applicants, the medical evidence does not support the alleged forceful act at the hands of the applicants. {2} 3. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned APP. 4. Though the medical papers indicate that there is no external injury, as alleged, yet if there are chances of the signs of the injuries on the person of the prosecutrix need to be considered that too in the light of the incident as disclosed by the prosecutrix so also by the witnesses. According to the prosecutrix, one applicant had caught hold of her legs and when she was lying on the bed on the point of knife she was ravished. The prosecutrix is an aged lady having two children, which itself suggest that the complainant is an able bodied lady. If her legs were tied to the bed and on the point of knife she is ravished, there is less possibility of causing any external injury on her person. Secondly, the allegations against the applicants is supported and corroborated by a child witness, whose statement is recorded immediately after the incident. At this stage there is no reason to discard the said statement. In each and every case it is not necessary that there shall be external signs of violence. In the premise, no case made out to enlarge the applicants on bail. The application, which is sans merits, stands rejected. [A.V.POTDAR, J.] drp/A10/criapln556-10
