IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY APPELLATE SIDE CRI. JURISDICTION CRI. BAIL APPLICATION NO.2647 OF 2005 IN CRIMINAL APPEAL NO. 330 OF 2005 Ganesh Vitthal Pevekar. ...Petitioner. Vs. The State of Maharashtra. ...Respondent. Mr. M.R. Deshpande for the Petitioner. CORAM : V.M. KANADE,J. DATED : 4/5/2005. P.C.: 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is convicted for the offence punishable under Section 376 of the I.P.C. and sentenced to suffer R.I. for 10 years. It is the case of the prosecution that the applicant had an love affair with the prosecutrix and he used to take her to his friend’s residence at Malad and used to have sexual relations with her and after prosecutrix became pregnant, thereafter complaint was filed. In the examination in chief prosecutrix has stated that when the doctor examined her she was in the 6th month of pregnancy. Considering all these facts, in my view, this is a fit case for grant of bail. Accordingly, the applicant is released on bail in the sum of Rs.5000/- with one or two sureties in the like amount. He should report to N.M. Joshi Marg Police Station once in a month. :2: (V.M. KANADE, J.)
