|
|
|
| May, 2001 lodged a complaint alleging harassment by the appellant over a
|
|
|
| period of time. The allegations of rape, emotional blackmail and threats were
|
|
|
| leveled against the appellant. However, in her statement made on May 31,
|
|
|
| 2001 to the police, allegations of rape were conspicuously missing, the FIR
|
|
|
| was registered and the charge under Section 506 Part II of the <b><b>Penal</b></b> <b><b>Code</b></b>,
|
|
|
| 1860 (<a href="/doc/1569253/" id="a_45">IPC</a>) was framed in the year 2001 based on such statement. The
|
|
|
| appellant was admitted to <b><b>bail</b></b> in the said case. In the year 2010 the
|
|
|
| prosecutrix made an application for addition of charge under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_46">Section 376</a>
|
|
|
| IPC as well. On 31st March, 2012 the Metropolitan Magistrate directed the
|
|
|
| police to carry out a special investigation under <a href="/doc/274924/" id="a_47">Section 173 (8)</a> of the <b><b>Code</b></b>
|
|
|
| of Criminal Procedure 1973 (<a href="/doc/445276/" id="a_48">Cr.P.C</a>). The police filed a revised charge-sheet
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| stating that a prima facie case under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_49">Section 376</a> IPC was made out. In view
|
|
|
| of addition of the charge under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_50">Section 376</a> IPC the Magistrate passed an
|
|
|
| order on 25th April, 2013 for committal of proceedings to the Session Court
|
|
|
| and taking the appellant into custody. However, execution of this order was
|
|
|
| stayed till 7th May, 2013. During this period the appellant moved the City
|
|
|
| Sessions Court for grant of anticipatory <b><b>bail</b></b> which was ultimately granted
|
|
|
| on 18th May, 2013. On an application of the prosecutrix the High Court
|
|
|
| cancelled the anticipatory <b><b>bail</b></b> granted to the appellant.</span>

|
| <blockquote id="blockquote_6"> "In a matter like this where allegations of rape pertain to the

| framed Under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_53">Section 376</a> <b><b>Indian</b></b> <b><b>Penal</b></b> <b><b>Code</b></b> in the year 2001,
|
| and even the prosecutrix did not take any steps for almost 9 years
|
| and the charge Under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_54">Section 376</a> <b><b>Indian</b></b> <b><b>Penal</b></b> <b><b>Code</b></b> is added
|
| only in the year 2014, we see no reason why the Appellant should
|
| not be given the benefit of anticipatory <b><b>bail</b></b>. Merely because the
|
| charge Under <a href="/doc/1279834/" id="a_55">Section 376</a> <b><b>Indian</b></b> <b><b>Penal</b></b> <b><b>Code</b></b>, which is a serious
|
| charge, is now added, the benefit of anticipatory <b><b>bail</b></b> cannot be
|
| denied when such a charge is added after a long period of time
|
| and inaction of the prosecutrix is also a contributory factor."

|

|

|
|
| court and pray for fresh <b><b>bail</b></b> under Section 437 of the <b><b>Code</b></b>. The accused
|

|
| petitioner challenged the said order in criminal revision no.4035 of 2015
|
|
|
| before the learned Single Judge of this Hon'ble Court. The said revisional

|
|

| effect that the petitioner is disentitled to <b><b>bail</b></b> granted by the learned
