Apprehending arrest in connection with Crime No.140/2018, registered at Police Station - Ramanujnagar, District - Surajpur, Chhattisgarh for offence punishable under Section 354, 354(d), 506 of the IPC, the applicant has preferred this application for grant of anticipatory bail. 2.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. The victim in her statement under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. has narrated a totally different story, according to which, no offence is made out against this applicant. Further, the victim has also made statement to the police that she does not want to proceed with the complaint against this applicant, regarding which documents are filed along with the application which had been obtained under the RTI Act. Hence, it is prayed that this applicant may be benefited with grant of anticipatory bail. 3.

Learned counsel for the State/non-applicant opposes the application. 4.

Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

The victim in this case has alleged that when she had been to the shop run by wife of this applicant, this applicant caught hold of her and outraged her

-2modesty and when the victim opposed he threatened her with dire consequences. Hence, this case.

After considering on the entire material present in the case diary and considering the development that has taken place in the investigation according to the documents that have been annexed with the application, I feel inclined to allow this application.

7.

Accordingly, the anticipatory bail application is allowed. It is directed that in the event of arrest of the applicant in connection with the aforesaid offence, he shall be released on bail by the officer arresting him on executing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Investigating Officer.
