Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record and taking into consideration the delay in institution of the FIR and there being no medical corroboration of the incident, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 9.
