At about 12 a.m. the prosecutrix's father Ramdas and mother Sugarti Bai came there and on seeing them appellant fled away. Prosecutrix narrated the incident to them.They took her to P.S. Amla, Distt. Betul where she lodged the report.

[6] Looking to the allegations levelled against the appellant that he committed rape of minor girl of 15 years and remained absconding for a long time after incident. Besides the possibility of tampering with the evidence by the accused if released on bail at this stage also can not be ruled out.So in the considered opinion of this court learned trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the application of applicant for releasing him on bail at this stage. So his appeal is rejected with the liberty that after recording the statement of the prosecutrix, the appellant is free to again file fresh bail application.

Accordingly, Cr.A. No. 2239/2017 is disposed of. (RAJEEV KUMAR DUBEY) JUDGE m/-

[4] Respondent No.2 and her counsel submitted that they have no objection on appellant being granted bail . [5] Learned counsel for the State/Respondent No.1 opposed the prayer and submitted that In the marksheet the date of birth of prosecutrix is mentioned as 08/10/98 which shows that prosecutrix was only 15 years of age when the appellant committed rape with her and appellant remained absconded for a long period, So he shall not be released on bail. [6] Looking to the allegations levelled against the appellant that he committed rape of minor girl of 15 years and remained absconding for a long time after incident. Besides the possibility of tampering with the evidence by the accused if released on bail at this stage also can not be ruled out.So in the considered opinion of this court learned trial court did not commit any mistake in rejecting the application of applicant for releasing him on bail at this stage. So his appeal is rejected with the liberty that after recording the statement of the prosecutrix, the appellant is free to again file fresh bail application.
