Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 26/09/2018 The applicant has filed this application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail as he is in custody in connection with Crime No.91/2017 registered at police station Chhuriya (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 363,366 & 376 IPC; Section 3(2) (v0 of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

As per prosecution case, on 24.5.17 when the prosecutrix did not return home in the evening till 7.00 p.m. search was made at her friends house and bus stand but she was not found. Missing report was lodged by father of the prosecutrix that his daughter has been abducted by someone and thereafter she was recovered on 30.08.17 from Maharashtra. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely

implicated and that the prosecutrix had gone of her own with the applicant and visited several places. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 01.09.17 and the trial will take time for final disposal and therefore he may be released on bail.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

Considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on bail. Accordingly, his application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is allowed.

It is directed that in the event of the applicant's furnishing a personal bond of Rs. 20,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned court for his appearance before it as and when directed, he shall be released on bail.
