Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the deposition of the victim who has been examined as P.W.-2 has not supported the case of the prosecution, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees
