The allegation against the petitioner is that he enticed the de facto complainant while she was a 9th standard student and had subjected her to sexual intercourse on a promise of marriage. It is alleged that he continued with the said relationship by repeatedly assuring that he would marry her.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the
BA.1283/2015 : 2 :
learned Public Prosecutor.
5.
It seems that the investigation of this case is practically over. No criminal antecedents have been reported against the petitioner. The continued detention of the petitioner in custody is not required for the continued investigation of this case. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case and having regard to the period undergone by the petitioner in custody and the present stage of investigation, I am satisfied that the petitioner can be enlarged on bail.
6.
In the result, this Bail Application is allowed and the petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on his executing a bond for `1,00,000/- (Rupees one lakh only) with two solvent sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the concerned Judicial First Class Magistrate's Court, and subject to the following terms and conditions:- (i) The petitioner shall report before the Investigating Officer in between 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. on all Wednesdays and Saturdays commencing

(ii) The petitioner shall not tamper with the evidence or influence witnesses.
(iii) The petitioner shall make himself available for interrogation as and when required by the Investigating Officer.
(iv) The petitioner shall not involve in any offence while on bail.
It is made clear that the violation of any of the conditions stipulated above will result in the cancellation of bail.
