applicant/accused in May, 2014. Then she fall in love with him. Thereafter she went with him in July, 2014 as the applicant has promised to marry her. Then they started residing together. She stayed with him from July, 2014 to April, 2015. In between he established a sexual relationship with her and she agreed for the same because the applicant promised her to marry. It is her case that, the applicant regularly demanded money from the prosecutrix and she time to time gave money to the applicant. It is her claim that she gave Rs. 9 lacs to the applicant/accused. As per the case of the prosecution, the applicant also sold gold ornaments of the prosecutrix and thus cheated her upto the tune of Rs. 12,20,000/- as he promised to use the said money for their new house. Therefore, the prosecutrix gave this complaint.

¶15

The learned counsel for the applicant/accused submits

¶16

that the prosecutrix though claims to be a divorcee, she is, in fact not a divorcee and has filed an application for maintenance in the year 2014 in the Court of J.M.F.C., Miraj. In the said application also, she claims that her gold ornaments were taken by the Respondenthusband. He submitted that the applicant is innocent and he has not

taken money from her. The applicant/accused was taken in custody on 11^th May, 2015. Hence, this bail application.

¶20

The learned prosecutor opposed the bail application. He submitted that the applicant/accused had taken the disadvantage of her disability and took money from her with a promise that he is constructing a house for them. Hence application be rejected.

¶21

On perusal of the first information report, it is found that the applicant/accused is 36 years old. She is a mother of one 10 years old daughter. Her first marriage appears to be unsuccessful. Thereafter she was in love with the applicant. Considering the allegations made by the prosecutrix against the applicant and considering her age, I am of the view that it is fit case to grant bail to the applicant.

¶22

Hence, I grant bail as under:

¶23

a) The applicant/accused be enlarged on bail upon furnishing P. R. Bond in the sum of Rs. 40,000/- with one or two solvent surety/s in the like amount;
