1. This second bail application has been filed by the petitioner
under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
2. F.I.R. No.184/2023 was registered at Police Station Bansur,
Alwar for the offence under Sections 323, 342, 354 & 363 of IPC
and Sections 9/10 of POCSO Act.
3. Counsel for the petitioner submits that during the trial,
material witnesses have been examined and two independent
witnesses PW-3- Leelawati & PW-4- Sonu have been declared
hostile. The prosecutrix in her examination has alleged that the
accused gave a bite on her chin. Counsel further submits that in
the cross-examination of the prosecutrix, there are such material
[2023:RJ-JP:27111] (2 of 3) [CRLMB-10392/2023]
things which creates doubts about the prosecution story and the
trial of the case is likely to take considerable time.
4. Learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the complainant
have vehemently opposed the second bail application and submit
that the prosecution story is consistent from beginning.
5. Considered the submissions put forth by counsel for the
petitioner, learned Public Prosecutor and counsel for the
complainant and so also perused the statement of the prosecution
witnesses.
6. Allegation against the petitioner is that he gave bite on the
chin of the prosecutrix and the petitioner is behind the bars since
01.04.2023. Two prosecution witnesses have been declared
hostile.
7. Taking into consideration the fact stated above and that the
petitioner is behind the bars since 01.04.2023 and trial will take
long time but without making any opinion on the merits and
demerits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to
enlarge the petitioner on bail.
8. This second bail application is, accordingly, allowed and it is
directed that accused-petitioner shall be released on bail provided
he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees
Fifty Thousand only) together with two sureties in the sum of
Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only) each to the
satisfaction of the trial Court with the stipulation that he shall
appear before that Court and any Court to which the matter be
[2023:RJ-JP:27111] (3 of 3) [CRLMB-10392/2023]
transferred, on all subsequent dates of hearing and as and when
called upon to do so.
