Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that compromise has been effected in between the applicant and the victim and the charge sheet has been filed and no further investigation is necessary; therefore, the applicant may be released on bail.

On the earlier date, State counsel was directed to enquire as to how many other victims are there in this case. He submits as per the information received that no other victims are there except the complainant.

Considering the fact that the applicant has entered into compromise as per the document which is placed on record and further considering the nature of allegation and the fact that charge sheet has been filed, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.
