2 the above sections has been registered against the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the victim has been examined as P.W.2, in which, she clearly admits that the accused has not asked for establishing relationship with her and has not committed any wrong with her. Mother of the victim has also been examined as P.W.1 and has not supported the prosecution case. He further submits that in the M.L.C. report, there is no injury, either external or internal, has been found. Therefore, he prays for the grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4.

Accordingly, the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. The applicant is directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every date to be given to him by the said
