The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.117 of 2008 of Shikrapur police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant and four others for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 376, 354, 498A, 323, 504, 506 r/w 34 of the IPC. 3. The instant crime has been registered against the five accused consisting of the preesnt applicant, his parents, brother and Aunt. The applicant is a husband of the complainant. The applicant’s parents and Aunt have already been released on bail. Insofar 2 2 2 as the allegation attracting the provisions of section 376 of IPC is concerned, it is made only against the brother of the applicant. The allegations against the other family members including the present applicant are general in nature. As a matter of fact no specific allegation is made against the applicant causing harassment or ill treatment to the complainant. Keeping that in view and considering overall facts and circumstances of the case I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Hence the following order: . The applicant to be released on bail in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount subject to condition that the applicant shall report to the concerned police station on first Saturday of every month between 7 and 8 pm till conclusion of the trial. .
