The police registered the offence, the applicant was arrested and charge sheet was filed. 4. Learned Counsel for the applicant would submit that he has not committed any offence and has been falsely implicated in the case. There was an altercation with the applicant with respect to some trivial issue when the victim was going on for work along with her mother and then report has been lodged by her that applicant is outraged her modesty. The victim and her father have been examined before the trial court as PW-2 & PW-1 respectively where both of them have turned hostile. The victim has also stated before the trial court that due to some altercation with the applicant, she lodged a report. Therefore, the applicant may be released on bail as final adjudication may take sometime. 5. On the other hand the counsel for the State opposes the bail application. 6. Without commenting on merits, considering the totality of the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegation and evidence collected during investigation and also considering the fact that victim and her father have been examined as PW-2 & PW-1 before the trial court where both of them have turned hostile and not supported the case of prosecution, this Court is of the opinion that present is a fit case where the Applicant can be enlarged on bail. 7. Accordingly, the application for grant of bail is allowed. It is directed that the Applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety of the like sum to the 3 satisfaction of the concerned Trial Court for his appearance on each date of hearing before the trial Court, unless exempted from personal appearance by the said Court. 8.
