M.Cr.C. No.10883/2015
21.06.2017

Shri Anand Bhatt, learned counsel for the applicant.
Shri Mukesh Kumawat, learned Panel Lawyer for the
non-applicant No.1 – State.
Shri V. K. Gangwal, learned counsel for the non-
applicant No.2.
They are heard.
2. This is an application under Section 439(2) of the Cr.P.C.
for cancellation of bail granted to the non-applicant No.2.
3. Facts

of the case are that the non-applicant No.2
committed an offence under Sections 376(2)(N), 506 and 190
of the IPC, on the basis of complaint lodged by the applicant at
Police Station Alirajpur, offence under the aforesaid Sections
has been registered vide Crime No.241/2014.

4. The non-applicant No.2 filed an application for grant of
anticipatory bail vide M.Cr.C. No.6205/2015. On 29.07.2015,
Co-ordinate Bench of this Court had allowed the prayer for
grant of anticipatory bail for a period of 30 days and directed
the non-applicant No.2 to apply for regular bail within the
aforesaid period of 30 days, which shall be dealt by the Trial
Court, in accordance with law. The order dated 29.07.2015
reads as under :-

By this application filed under Section 438 of
the Cr.P.C. applicant Manoj s/o Rajkumar Jain has
moved the application for grant of anticipatory bail
being implicated in Crime No.241/14 registered by
Police Station Alirajpur for offence under Sections
376 (2) (n), 506, 190 of IPC.

Counsel for the applicant has vehemently
urged the fact that the applicant is 50 years old and
an agriculturist and had on ground of charity had
given job to the prosecutrix when her mother had
stated that she was too old to do work in the mess
(eating house) however, on being caught with
another person namely Anil Bohra, she has cried
foul and falsely implicated the applicant. Besides
Counsel submitted that the prosecutrix had also
tried to commit suicide because she want to live
separately with her widow mother. Hence Counsel
prayed for grant of anticipatory bail since the
applicant is a respective person and is likely to face
social embarrassment and ostracisation, if arrested.

Counsel for the respondent/State, on the other
hand, has opposed the submissions of the Counsel
for the applicant and has submitted that the
applicant has taken advantage with hardship of the
prosecutrix and has been committed rape on her for
last few years ago. Counsel prayed for dismissal of
the application.

On considering the above submissions, and
looking to the nature of allegations, I find that the
application needs to be allowed in the interest of
justice. It is, therefore, allowed.

It is directed that in the event of arrest, the
applicant shall be released on bail for the period of
30 days (thirty days) upon his furnishing personal
bond to the tune of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty five
thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to
the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer for his
further appearance as and when directed.

The applicant shall apply for regular bail
within the aforesaid period of 30 days which shall
be dealt by the Trial Court in accordance with law.

It is also directed that the applicant shall
abide by all the conditions enumerated under
Section 438(2) of the Cr.P.C.

5. Thereafter, on 21.08.2015, application for grant of
regular bail has been allowed by the Trial Court. The said
order was produced before the CJM, Alirajpur, who has taken
the aforesaid document on record. The relevant part of order
dated 21.08.2015 reads as under :-

8. On 24.11.2014, one more complainant has been lodged
by the applicant at Police Station South Tukoganj, Indore
against the non-applicant No.2 and other persons. After
commission of another offence, the present application for
cancellation of bail has been filed on the ground that the
applicant violated the terms and conditions of regular bail
granted by the Trial Court on 21.08.2015 by committing the
offence on 23.08.2015 and prays that the bail granted by the
Trial Court be cancelled.

9. In reply, Shri V. K. Gangwal, learned counsel for the
non-applicant No.2 has drawn my attention to the statement of
material prosecution witnesses namely, Amratlal Gupta
(PW-1), Omprakash (PW-2), Anil (PW-3), Ranjeet Singh
Solanki (PW-4), Prosecutrix (PW-5) and Komal Bai (PW-6),
whose statements were recorded between 04.11.2015 to
06.02.2017. He has also submitted that statement of Dr.
Meenakshi Mandloi (PW-7), Dr. Bhupendra Yadav (PW-8),
Smt. Manorama Sisodiya (PW-9) and Rakesh Vyas (PW-10)
have been recorded between 22.03.2017 to 28.03.2017.

10. The trial is at the verge of completion. The prosecutrix
(PW-5) has turned hostile and, thus, no case for cancellation
of bail, as prayed is made out and prays for rejection of
application.

11. The prosecutrix in her statement has not made any
allegation against the non-applicant in respect of commission
of rape. Komal Bai (PW-6), mother of the prosecutrix also in
her statement has not made any allegation against the accused
and this witness has been declared hostile and had not
supported the case of the prosecution.

12. Considering the aforesaid so also the fact that this
application for cancellation of bail was filed on 01.12.2015 but
number of times, case was adjourned, on 05.10.2016, this
Court observed that if there is any threat to the girl, she shall
be free to approach the Station House Officer/Superintendent
of Police and the SHO/SP shall provide appropriate security to
the girl for attending the Court proceedings.

13. Inspite of order passed by this Court on 05.10.2016, she
has not availed the aforesaid facility, as is evident from order
dated 13.12.2016.

14. The law on cancellation of bail is well settled.
Cancellation of bail should not be done in a routine manner. In
the absence of sufficient materials to show that the accused
was threatening the applicant bail granted by the trial Court
cannot be cancelled. It is not the case of the applicant that the
bail is procured by suppression of material facts. Consideration
of an application for grant of bail stands on a different footing
that one for cancellation of bail.

15. Considering these facts, at this stage, when statement of
prosecutrix has been recorded and she in her statement has
denied the allegation of rape against the non-applicant No.2,
no case for cancellation of bail, as prayed is made out.
M.Cr.C. No.10883/2015 is accordingly, dismissed.
