The allegation is that the accused Nos. 1 and 2 had sexually abused a 17 year old girl after abducting her from her residence. The petitioner/the third accused is the driver of the autorickshaw by which the girl was transported by the accused. Thus, it is alleged that the petitioner was also privy to the crime. 4.

Even the learned Public Prosecutor has no case that he was privy to the sexual abuse made against the girl. I am also told that accused Nos. 1 and 2 have already been arrested. The continued detention of the petitioner is no more necessary and therefore, he can be released on bail on the following conditions:- (i) The petitioner shall execute a bond for Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand only) with two solvent sureties each for the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial court.
