Mr. Vivek Shinghal, Panel Lawyer Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order on Board 22/09/2015 1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.145/2015, registered at Police StationGandhinagar, Ambikapur, District-Surguja (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Sections 452, 354 & 294 of the IPC and Sections 7 & 8 of the POSCO Act. 2.

Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that the present applicant entered into the house of the complainant and outraged her modesty and thereby committed the aforesaid offence.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the applicant has not committed any offence and he has falsely been implicated in crime in question. She would further submit that the applicant is in jail since 30.6.2015 and charge-sheet has already been filed and therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4.

On the other hand, learned State counsel would oppose the bail application.

5.

I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the

case diary.

6.

Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case; further taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence; role of the present applicant; his pre-trial detention and the fact that charge-sheet has already been filed, this Court is of the opinion that present is a fit case, in which, the applicant should be enlarged on regular bail.

7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.

It is directed that applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed. 9.
