Mr K. S. Patil, A.P.P. for respondent No.1/State CORAM : S. G. MEHARE, J.

DATE : 26th August, 2022 P.C.

1.

The learned APP states that the victim has been served through her natural guardian father. He has placed the service report on record. It is marked as Annexure 'A'. However, none appears for the victim. Hence, the matter to proceed further. 2.

Heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned APP for the respondent No.1/State.

3.

The facts have been discussed in detail in the order dated 04.08.2022. The applicant has allegedly played limited role to give the lift to the main accused and the victim to travel. The vehicle allegedly used in the offence has been recovered. Considering the allegations levelled against the applicant, the prosecution has nothing to satisfy the Court that the custodial interrogation of the applicant is essential. Hence, the application deserves to be allowed.

923-ABA1012.22 (2) i) The application is allowed.

ii) The interim protection granted to the applicant by the order dated 04.08.2022 is confirmed on the same terms and conditions. (S. G. MEHARE, J.) amj
