Order Below Exh.1 in Cri.B.A.No.442/2022 CNR NO.MHNS010016242022

Vishal @ Bablu Nandkishor Sandhan Vs. State.

Heard : Ld. Adv. Mr. G. L. Bodke for the applicant.
Ld. A.P.P. Ms. S. S. Sangle for the State.

1.This is an application under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in Crime No.131/2022 registered at Police Station, Ambad, Nashik for the offence punishable under Sections 354, 354­A,
354­D, 504 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860 and Section 8 & 12 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act. It is the case of prosecution in brief that the 20 year­old accused/applicant met the 16
year­old victim in a Cafe at college road, touched her hand and also tried to kiss her on her cheek without her consent.

2. Ld. Adv. for the applicant has submitted that the applicant is only 20 years old. He is a student. The incident as alleged did not occur. The victim and the applicant were introduced to each­other on
instagram. The applicant only met the victim once in a public place. The FIR came to be lodged because her parents saw her with the applicant. Applicant is ready to abide by the terms and conditions
imposed by the Court.

3. Per contra, Ld. A.P.P. has opposed the bail application on the ground that there is prima­facie case against the applicant. The applicant had been stalking the victim. If the applicant is released on
bail, there are chances of his tampering with prosecution witnesses.

4.Applicant is only 20 years old and is a student. Considering the same and considering the peculiar facts and circumstances of the case, no purpose will be served by keeping him behind bars. In view
thereof, I am inclined to allow the application subject to the following terms and conditions.
