CORAM : SACHIN S. DESHMUKH, J.
Date : 2nd December, 2025 ORDER :- The applicant has approached this Court seeking regular bail in connection with FIR bearing Crime No. 0659 of 2025 dated 09.07.2025 registered with Shrirampur City Police Station, District - Ahilyanagar for the offences punishable under Section 64(2)(i), 64(2)(j) 115(2), 351(2), 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. In connection with the same, the applicant was arrested on 10.07.2025 and upon completion of investigation, chargesheet was filed on 28.07.2025. 2.
The applicant submits that in view of the arrest, investigation is completed and chargesheet is filed in connection with the crime which is registered with an intention to implicate the applicant after an unexplained delay. The applicant further submits that the applicant and the prosecutrix were conversant with each other from last
-24 years, and had maintained relationship during the period and as, such, the applicant entered into physical relations with the prosecutrix which resulted in the conception of the child. The further assertion relating to abortion is an afterthought and as such, prayed for release of the applicant on bail.
3.
Per contra, learned APP has submitted that the relations between the applicant and the prosecutrix was established by the applicant by extending threats and had even went to the extent of threatening to eliminate the parents of the prosecutrix. Therefore, although the investigation is completed, the conduct of the applicant dis-entitles the applicant to be enlarged on bail. It is further submitted that the DNA test of the child confirms the paternity of the present applicant. He, therefore, prayed for dismissal of the application. 4.
Having considered the submissions of the applicant and the learned APP and perused the chargesheet, it is a matter of record that the prosecutrix is 21 years old and was related to the applicant and had consciously chosen to be in contact with the present applicant. The allegations in relation to the physical assault, which is stated to have continued for a substantial period and eventually, culminated into the birth of the child, as such, are afterthought and made after an unexplained delay. Apart from the aforesaid aspects, investigation is
-3completed. No fruitful purpose would be served by continuing the detention of the applicant.
5.
In that view of the matter, the application deserves consideration.
6.
Resultantly, following order is passed :-
ORDER
(I) Application is allowed.
(II) Applicant be released on regular bail upon furnishing P.R. bond of Rs. 50,000/- (Fifty Thousand Only) with one or two local solvent sureties in the like amount, in connection with Crime No. 0659 of 2025 dated 09.07.2025 registered with Shrirampur City Police Station, District - Ahilyanagar for the offences punishable under Section 64(2)(i), 64(2)(j) 115(2), 351(2), 3(5) of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, on the following conditions :- (a) The applicant shall attend each and every date of the Trial Court, unless exempted by the Trial Court.
