JAISHREE THAKUR, J. (Oral)
The instant petition has been filed under Section 438 of Cr.P.C., for grant of anticipatory bail in the event of arrest in FIR No. 102 dated 20.10.2017 under Section 342, 376, 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 6 of POCSO Act registered at Police Station Women, District Palwal, Haryana.
Learned counsel for the petitioner herein contends that the police had investigated the matter and the petitioner herein was found innocent and had been put in column No.2. It is contended that subsequently in the proceedings, on an application moved under Section 319 Cr.P.C., the petitioner has been summoned to face trial vide order dated 20.3.2018 passed by the Additional Sessions Judge, Palwal. It is argued that the matter has already been investigated and that the petitioner herein is ready to join the proceedings, however, prays for grant of interim protection.
