THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH
MCRC-7543-2022
Aftar Khan @ Rinka Vs. State of MP
Gwalior, Dated: 28.03.2022
Shri Pradeep Katare, Counsel for the applicant.
Shri C.P. Singh, Counsel for the State.
Case Diary is available.
This second application under Section 439 of CrPC has been
filed for grant of bail. First application was dismissed by order dated
27.10.2021
passed in M.Cr.C. No.52636/2021.
The applicant has been arrested on 25.08.2021 in connection
with Crime No.186/2020 registered at Police Station Malanpur Distt.
Bhind for offence under Sections 363, 376, 109 of IPC.
It is submitted by the counsel for the applicant that the
prosecutrix has turned hostile and as per the DNA test report, DNA
profile of the applicant was not found in the incriminating article of
the prosecutrix.
Per contra, the application is vehemently opposed by the
counsel for the State. It is fairly conceded by the counsel for the State
that not only, the prosecutrix has turned hostile, but the DNA test
report is also against the prosecution, but it is submitted that it
appears that either the prosecutrix had given a false information to
the police or she has not narrated the truth before the Court,
therefore, she is liable to be prosecuted.
So far as the question of prosecution of the prosecutrix is
THE HIGH COURT OF MADHYA PRADESH MCRC-7543-2022 Aftar Khan @ Rinka Vs. State of MP
concerned, it is directed that the Trial Court while deciding the trial
shall address on this issue also and shall pass a specific order as to
whether the prosecution of the prosecutrix is warranted or not ?
Considering the fact that the prosecutrix has turned hostile and
without commenting anything on the merits of the case, the
application is allowed. It is directed that the applicant be released on
bail on furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/-
(Rupees One Lac) with one surety in the like amount to the
satisfaction of the Trial Court/Committal Court to appear before the
Court on the dates given by the concerned Court.
This order shall remain effective till the end of trial but in case
of bail jump, it shall become ineffective.
In the light of the judgment passed by the Supreme Court in
the case of Aparna Bhat and others Vs. State of M.P. Passed on
18.03.2021 in Criminal Appeal No. 329/2021, the intimation
regarding grant of bail be sent to the complainant.
Certified copy as per rules.
