Act, which was registered as Case Crime No. 98 of 2015 and trial is pending as Case No. 5413 of 2017. During the pendency of trial, the present FIR has been lodged on 20.11.2018. It has been submitted that it is a case of false implication by the wife. There is no medical examination of the prosecutrix on record. The applicant does not have any criminal history to his credit and he is languishing in jail since 7.7.2019. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence.
