Sections 354, 354-A, 354-B and 376-C of IPC.

It is contended by counsel for the petitioner that the first bail
application was dismissed by this Court with liberty to the
(2 of 7)
[CRLMB-19450/2021]
petitioner to move fresh bail application after recording of the
statement of victim. It is evident that after rejection of first bail
application, the bail application was preferred before the Apex
Court which was dismissed as withdrawn on 13.08.2021.
Thereafter, the statement of victim has been recorded and
statement is said to be running in 62 pages and examination-in-
chief was recorded from 08.09.2021 to 21.10.2021. The
prosecution case is that a complaint was lodged before the ACB on
06.03.2021, wherein there is allegation that the present petitioner
is demanding money as well as sexual favours from the victim. It
is also stated that a sum of Rs.50,000/- was given by the victim to
the petitioner in 5 installments of Rs.10,000/- each. The language
used in the complaint was that he may pressurize her to make
friendship with him. Thereafter, certain traps were raised and
certain recordings were made, transcripts of which are available in
the charge-sheet. On 14.03.2021 which happens to be a Sunday,
complainant went to the office of petitioner where petitioner
attempted to commit rape with her. The ACB team arrested the
petitioner and thereafter, charge-sheet has been filed.
4.
It is also contended that in the criminal case filed by the
complainant against Yashraj Bhardawaj, FIR was lodged on
17.07.2020. Prior to the investigation being handed over to the
petitioner, two Investigating Officers submitting report that
offence is not made out against Yashraj Bhardawaj. However,
petitioner submitted the factual report on 07/09/2020 before the
Special Court wherein he mentioned that case is made out against
Yashraj Bhardwaj. Thereafter, petitioner arrested sister of
accused- Ishita Bhardawaj on 16.02.2021 as there was evidence
(3 of 7)
[CRLMB-19450/2021]
to the effect that abortion of the victim i.e. present complainant
was clandestinely done and Ishita Bhardawaj was also involved in
the offence and it is after this, that the present complaint was
lodged before the ACB. It is further contended that prior to the
lodging of the complaint, petitioner had already submitted the
factual report about involvement of Yashraj Bhardawaj. There was
no work pending with the petitioner and he had arrested sister of
accused Ishita Bhardawaj prior to the lodging of the complaint. It
is also contended that the allegation is that petitioner had put on
the condom but the phenolphthalein test was not done on the
underwear and genitals of the petitioner as well as on the condom.
