Thereafter, on investigation the prosecutrix was recovered from the possession of the present applicant and the statements have been recorded. Thereafter, the present applicant was arrested. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that it is a case of elopement. He would next contend that the charge-sheet in this case has been filed and the prosecutrix has already been examined before the trial Court. He would next contend that 05 witnesses in this case has been examined and there is no previous antecedent to the credit of the present applicant. He would lastly contend that the prosecutrix has not produced any evidence to show that the applicant has tried to commit the offence, therefore, the applicant may be released on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5. The prosecutrix along with her mother appeared in person before this Court and she raised objection with regard to grant of bail to the applicant. 6. I have learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents. It is a case of elopement and the charge-sheet in this case has been filed and the 05 witnesses have been examined, considering the same and also considering the fact that there is no previous antecedent of the applicant and there is no tampering of evidence, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in sum of 3 / 3 Rs.15,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
