For Respondent(s) : Mr. Shrawan Bishnoi, PP HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE VINIT KUMAR MATHUR Order 14/09/2020 Lawyers are not appearing in the Court in view of the unprecedented situation being faced by the country due to pandemic of novel corona virus (COVID-19). The present bail application has been filed under Section 439 Cr. P. C. on behalf of the petitioner who is in custody in connection with F. I. R. No. 301/2020, Police Station Pratapnagar, Udaipur for the offence under Section 376 of IPC. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Public Prosecutor.
Perused the material available on record. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the charge sheet has already been filed in the case. He further submits that as per the statements of the prosecutrix recorded (2 of 2) [CRLMB-9339/2020] under sections 161 & 164 of Cr. PC, she has stated that she stayed with the petitioner for pretty long time without raising any objection. The prosecutrix is a widow lady of 24 years. The conclusion of trial will take sufficiently long time, therefore, it is prayed that the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. The learned Public Prosecutor opposes the bail. Having regard to the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case as also the present situation of the country due to pandemic of corona virus (COVID-19), in particular the jails, this Court deems it just and proper to release the petitioner on bail. Consequently, the bail application is allowed.
It is ordered that the accused-petitioner Babulal S/o Logur arrested in connection with F. I. R. No. 301/2020, Police Station Pratapnagar, Udaipur shall be released on bail; provided he furnishes a personal bond of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees: Fifty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees : Twenty Five Thousand Only) each to the satisfaction of the learned trial court with the stipulation to appear before that Court on all dates of hearing and as and when called upon to do so.
