Respondent Shri P.G. Sarda for the Applicant. Ms S.D. Shinde, APP, for the State. CORAM: R.C. CHAVAN, J. DATED: SEPTEMBER 28, 2011 P.C: This is an application for bail by a 20-year old boy who had taken a 15-year old girl and allegedly committed rape upon her at his uncle's house. The medical certificate in respect of the victim shows that she had possibly been subjected to sexual intercourse since the hymen was torn and admitted one finger. The Chemical Analyser's reports, however, which have been made available for my perusal by the learned APP, are all negative. Investigation is complete and charge-sheet has been filed. Considering the nature of the evidence which has been collected, the 2 BA-1323.11 applicant's being in custody pending the trial may not be necessary. The applicant be released on bail in C.R.

Bond in the sum of `25,000/- with one or more solvent sureties in the sum aggregating to `25,000/- on the condition that the applicant shall keep himself scrupulously away from the prosecutrix till the trial is over. The application accordingly stands disposed of. (R.C. CHAVAN, J.)
