He submits that medical report also reveals that the age of the victim is more than 18 years and there is no finding that she has been raped. He further submits that the petitioner has been implicated only on the basis of suspicion with some ulterior motive.

However, learned APP for the State submits that the petitioner is named in the First Information Report, hence, opposes the prayer for bail.

Be that as it may, since the allegation is not supported by the victim in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. and considering the medical report, let petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Gaya in connection with Moffasil P.S.
