Although the victim has supported the prosecution case in her examination in chief, she in her cross-examination stated that no misdeed had been committed against her. 9. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the aforesaid statement of the victim recorded by the trial court, coupled with the fact that the victim already having been examined by the court, in case of his release, the applicant will not be in a position to influence the victim, without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the aforesaid crime. 10. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 11. Let the applicant- Sachin be released on bail in the aforesaid case on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of magistrate/court concerned, subject to following conditions:- (i) the applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence; (ii) the applicant shall not pressurize the prosecution witnesses; (iii) the applicant shall appear on each and every date fixed by the trial court, unless his appearance is exempted by the learned trial court.
