No.111 of 2008 registered with Vaduj Police Station in respect of the offences punishable under sections 376, 363, 366, 341 read with section 34 of the Indian Penal Code. 3. The case was registered against six persons including the applicant. It appears that the applicant and one more accused, for jpc aba344-11.sxw 2 some reasons, were not available for the trial, which proceeded only against the other four accused. The trial ended in acquittal of the said accused persons. It appears from the order passed by the trial Court that the prosecutrix was not examined during the trial at all. 4. Since the other accused have been acquitted, the applicant deserves to be granted anticipatory bail. Even other wise, the role attributed to the applicant is secondary and the accused against whom the main allegation was, have already been acquitted. The Anticipatory Bail Application is, therefore, allowed on the following conditions: In the event of his arrest, the applicant be released on bail in the sum of Rs.15,000/-(Rupees fifteen thousand only) with one surety in like amount, on the condition to attend the concerned Police Station and make himself available for investigation/interrogation, as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
