3. On consideration of the rival submissions, the statement of the victim prima facie appears to be very curious in accompanying the unknown persons; she does not seem to be revealing the full and correct facts in her statement and thus considering the nature of accusation against the petitioner and in absence of an apprehension against the petitioner tampering with the evidence or threating the witnesses or fleeing from trial, the case for admitting the petitioner to bail is made out.

2. Learned advocate Mr. Baghel for the applicant submits that present application is filed after the charge-sheet. He submits that there is no recovery or discovery from the present applicant. He further submits that the mobile, which is alleged to have been noted in the alleged incident is not recovered from any of the accused persons. He also submits that since the charge-sheet is filed, there is no possibility of tampering with the evidence of prosecution and the applicant is not likely to flee from the justice. He also submits that the applicant is not named in the FIR. He therefore, urges that the applicant may be released on bail by imposing suitable conditions.
