JUSTICE JITENDRA MOHAN SHARMA ORAL ORDER 18-01-2016 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned A.P.P. representing the State.

The allegation against the petitioner is that she purchased the informant and thereafter the husband of the petitioner at the instigation of the petitioner committed rape and again one unknown also committed rape with her at the instigation of the petitioner.

Submission is of false implication and that from bare perusal of fardbeyan it reveals that the informant has lodged this case with oblique motive, the story as alleged appears not reliable

Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of bail but fairly submits that the informant is a lady having three children. In the facts and circumstances stated above, considering that the informant appeared at police station herself, as submitted no medical test was done and further considering the gender of the petitioner, she is directed to be released on bail on execution of bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Barh, Patna in connection with Barh P.S. Case No. 301/2015, subject to the conditions that one of the bailors must be near relative and another having sufficient immovable property within the territorial jurisdiction of the court concerned and the petitioner shall remain present on each and every date during trial and the default on two consecutive dates on her part without any reason shall disentitle the petitioner from privilege of bail.
