As per facts of the case, prosecutrix 'JK' gave her statement that she is 20 years old and was doing household work. Sikander is her relative with whom she got friendly three months ago. On 01.09.2024, Sikander came to her house at about 1 pm in the absence of her family members and

#
committed forcible rape with her. He threatened not to disclose their relationship to anyone. Finally, she disclosed this fact to her mother and the matter was reported to the police.

3.

Counsel for petitioner argued that Sikander was arrested in this case on 19.09.2024. Earlier, he had filed regular bail application bearing CRM-M-7945-2025 which was dismissed as withdrawn on 01.05.2025 (Annexure P-5). He filed another bail application before the trial Court which was also declined vide order dated 19.05.2025 (Annexure P-6). In the case in hand, statement of prosecutrix has been recorded as PW1 (Annexure P-2), statement of mother as PW2 (Annexure P-3), both the witnesses did not support the prosecution case. Their relationship was consensual. He is ready to abide by the terms and conditions of bail order. Therefore, his second regular bail petition may be allowed.
