Submission is that applicant was earlier enlarged on bail by this Court for offence under Section 366 IPC. Subsequently, charge-sheet has been submitted against the applicant for offence under Section 376-D IPC. Bail application of the applicant has been rejected by the court below on 09.12.2019. It has been submitted that victim entered into court marriage with co-accused, Sandeep and lived with him for three months. Thereafter, she left the company of co-accused, Sandeep and has falsely implicated the applicant alongwith two other persons, who are friends of co-accused, Sandeep. The applicant has no criminal history to his credit and he is languishing in jail since 29.9.2019. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
