Judgment / Order
15/03/2021
Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned
Public Prosecutor and also perused the material on record.
The petitioner has been arrested in FIR No.386/2020 of
Police Station Subhash Nagar, District Bhilwara for the offences
punishable under Sections 363, 366, 376 IPC, Section 3/4, 11/12
of POCSO Act and Sections 3(1)(W)(II), 3(2)(V) SC/ST Act. He
has preferred this bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the
allegations against the petitioner of abduction and sexual assault
are absolutely false. It is argued that the prosecutrix in her
statements recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. has clearly stated
(2 of 2) [CRLMB-2114/2021]
that she went with the petitioner on her own free will and the
petitioner had developed physical relationship with the prosecutrix
with her consent. It is further submitted that the prosecutrix in
her statements recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. had stated the
same version, however, later on under the pressure of her family
members, in her supplementary statements, she had levelled false
allegations of abduction and sexual assault. It is also submitted
that charge-sheet has been filed and trial of the case will take
time.
Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances
of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused
petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 439
Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Chetan Kumar
S/o Sh. Madan Lal Rawat shall be released on bail in connection
with FIR No.386/2020 of Police Station Subhash Nagar, District
Bhilwara provided he executes a personal bond in a sum of
Rs.50,000/- with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/-
each to the satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance
before that court on each and every date of hearing and whenever
called upon to do so till the completion of the trial.
