1. Heard.
2. This is an application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail to the applicant, who has been arrested in
connection with Crime No.273/2013, registered at Police Station Gandhinagar, District Ambikapur Surguja (CG) for the offence punishable under
Section 354A of IPC.
3. The case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 15.9.2013 at about 10:00 p.m., when the prosecutrix was in her house, the MCRC No. 3345 of 2019
applicant tried to outrage her modesty and thereby, committed the offence.
4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant is in jail
since 8.4.2019 and the charge sheet has already been filed. He prays for releasing the applicant on regular bail.
5. On the other hand, learned Counsel for the State opposes the bail application.
6. Having considered the nature and gravity of the offence and the facts and circumstances of the case, I am of the opinion that present is a fit case
to enlarge the applicant on regular bail.
7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond for a sum of
Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial Court. He is directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every
