On this ground, he has sought for grant of bail. 5. The learned Government Pleader has opposed the application. 6. I have heard the learned Counsel for the petitioner and also the Government Pleader. 7. Prima facie, allegations in the complaint appear to be peculiar and when the incident said to have been taken place in the Town limits of Bhadravathi and when the Prosecutrix was aged about 22 years at the time of the incident, it appears to be improbable that the petitioner could have put her in a plastic bag and shifted her in an authorickshaw and after taking her to his house, forcibly had sexual intercourse and again put her in a plastic bag and left her near the house of the prosecutrix. Furthermore, the Doctor’s Certificate reveal that she was used to sexual intercourse. There was no incriminating circumstance in the FSL report. There were no external injuries and the Doctor has also certified that there was no evidence of recent sexual intercourse. According to the allegations in the complaint, the incident took place at 3.00 p.m. and she was examined in the evening hours. So taking into consideration all these circumstances, I am of the opinion that the petitioner has made out just and sufficient grounds for the bail he has sought for. So far securing the presence of the petitioner for the trial is concerned, conditions may be imposed. Hence, I proceed to pass the following. ORDER (i) The petition is allowed. (ii) The petitioner is ordered to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 25,000/- with two solvent sureties to the like sum to the satisfaction of the Court below subject to the following conditions.
