NAFR HIGH COURT OF CHHATTISGARH, BILASPUR MCRC No. 5803 of 2019 • Raghu Thakur S/o Gopal Thakur Aged About 36 Years R/o Thakurpara, Rajim, Police Station Rajim, District Gariyaband Chhattisgarh., ---- Applicant

Versus

• State Of Chhattisgarh Through Station House Officer, Police Station Rajim, District Gariyaband Chhattisgarh. ---- Respondent For Applicant : Shri Raghavendra Pradhan, Advocate For Respondent/State : Shri Wasim Miyan, PL Hon'ble Smt. Justice Rajani Dubey Order On Board 07/11/2019 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.156/2019 registered at police station Rajim, District Gariyaband (CG) for the offence punishable under Sections 354,354A,354D,451 and 506 IPC. Case of the prosecution in brief is that in the evening at about 7.00 p.m., the applicant came to the shop and with an intention to outrage her modesty, caught hold of her hand and threatened her for marriage. It is further alleged that when she was going towards her house, the applicant was stalking the prosecutrix and followed her. Counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been

falsely implicated in the crime. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 30.07.19 and the trial will take time for its conclusion and therefore he may be released on bail.

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

Having heard counsel for the parties, considered the totality of the fact, in particular the detention period of the applicant, I am inclined to release him on regular 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 in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court, he shall be released on bail.
