Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. Applicant is in jail since 16.03.2018. The prosecutrix in this case has been examined and she has not supported the case of the prosecution. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail.

According to the prosecution case, this applicant forced his entry into the house of the prosecutrix and then committed the offence of rape with her. Later on he wanted to pay her money, when she refused, she was threatened with dire consequences. Hence, this case.
