Judgment / Order
11/04/2018
The petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No.41/2018 of Police Station Naana, District Pali, for the offence punishable under Sections 363, 366, 376, 120B of IPC and under Section 16/17 POCSO Act. He has preferred this bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Counsel for the petitioner submits that the main accused in this case is Mohd. Rafik, who committed rape with the prosecutrix. According to the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., the petitioner came later on and he helped the main accused Mohd. Rafik for providing a room in a hotel and thereafter the petitioner went away from that place. The accusedpetitioner is in judicial custody and the trial of the case will take sufficient long time to be concluded. Therefore, the benefit of bail should be granted to the accused-petitioner.
