(Oral) This petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in case F.I.R. No.12 dated 22.01.2011 registered under Sections 376, 506 IPC at Police Station Raja Sansi, District Amritsar City. On 26.08.2011 the following contention was noticed:- “Learned counsel has argued that from the allegations in the FIR it seems to be a case of consensual sex because the prosecutrix on her own showing stayed in the house of the petitioner for seven days. Further that the petitioner has now been in custody since January, 2011. CRM-M No.25209 of 2011(O&M) ::2:: Challan has been filed and charge has been framed against him. ” Learned Assistant Advocate General on instructions from ASI Lakhbir Singh has accepted the fact that the petitioner has now been in custody since January, 2011 and that even as per the FIR it is not a case of forcible rape but a case of rape by allurement. In the circumstances, without going into the merits of the case, I deem it appropriate to release the petitioner on regular bail to the satisfaction of the trial Court/Duty Magistrate. Ordered accordingly. Petition stands disposed of. ( AJAY TEWARI ) October 05, 2011 JUDGE ashish
