- By the present petition the petitioner seeks anticipatory bail in case FIR No. 675/2016 under Sections 354/354B/354D/506/509 IPC registered at PS Okhla Industrial Area.
¶7
- Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the first alleged incident took place on 28th December, 2016, however, no FIR was lodged on 29th December, 2016. Further the version of the prosecutrix is concocted for the reason that she was not walking alone but with her husband and father after closing the shop. Thus there would not be much of a distance between three of them and the petitioner could not have committed the offence.
¶8
- The allegations of the prosecutrix in the FIR are that on 28th December, 2016 at about 8.30 PM when she was going towards her jhuggi after purchasing milk, the petitioner caught hold of her hand, tried to press BAIL APPLN. 79/2017 Page 1 of 2
