The court can grant anticipatory bail when allegations are of dubious reliability and the potential for social stigma exists.

1. By this application filed under S.438 of the CrPC the applicant Suresh Bhilala has moved the application for grant of anticipatory bail being implicated in Crime No. 296/15 registered by police station Kukshi, Distt. Dhar for offence under S.376 & S.506 of IPC.

2. Counsel for the applicant has vehemently argued that it was a case of false implication. Even if the prosecution allegations are considered, Counsel submitted that the prosecutrix was not very reliable and was the sister - in - law of the present applicant. She has denied the entire incident in the statements recorded before the Court under S.164 of the CrPC and the applicant has full chance of success in the trial. He is likely to face social embarrassment and ostracisation, if arrested, besides the prosecutrix is a major person of 19 year, and Counsel prayed that the application be allowed.

3. Counsel for the respondent State, on the other hand, has opposed the submission of the applicant, stating that the offence is fully made out. Counsel has prayed for dismissal of the application. He, however, candidly admitted that the prosecutrix has denied the entire incident.

4. On considering the above submissions, the impugned order and material available in the case diary and looking to the nature of allegations, I find it is a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant and it is hereby allowed.

5. It is directed that in the event of arrest, the applicant Suresh shall be released on bail for the period of 30 days (thirty days) upon his furnishing personal bond to the tune of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with one surety in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Arresting Officer for his further appearance as and when directed.

6. The applicant shall apply for regular bail within the aforesaid period of 30 days which shall be dealt by the trial Court in accordance with law.

7. It is also directed that the applicant shall abide by all the conditions enumerated under S.438(2) of the CrPC C.c. as per rules.
Application allowed.
