DATE : 08/12/2008 DATE : 08/12/2008 DATE : 08/12/2008 PC: PC: PC: 1. Heard Mr Mankapure, learned counsel for the applicant and Mr Saste, learned APP, for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.33 of 2008 of Alore-Shirgaon police station. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 376 and 506 of IPC. 3. I have perused the statement of the prosecutrix. It appears, from 2003 till May, 2008 she had illicit relations with the applicant. Thrice she aborted. During this period she got married and after her marriage it was found that she was pregnant and in view thereof her husband deserted her and thereafter the prosecutrix lodged the complaint against the applicant. The prosecutrix was 21 years old in 2003 and today she is 26 years old. Having considered the nature of allegations and 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.25,000/- with one or two sureties to make up the said amount, subject to condition that the applicant shall not enter Taluka-Chiplun till conclusion of the trial, except for attending the police station as and when called. The applicant shall keep informed his residential address to the concerned police station and shall report to the nearest police station from the place of his residence on every Saturday between 7 and 8 pm till conclusion of the trial. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
