Orders
The High Court of Bombay (Aurangabad) allowed Kiran Laxman Rathod's bail appeal in a rape case, finding insufficient prima facie evidence despite serious charges under BNS Section 70 and SC/ST Act provisions. The court noted inconsistencies between the victim's allegations and corroborating evidence—including CCTV footage showing her voluntarily entering the hotel room with a smile, the medical examination revealing no genital injuries, and her failure to immediately report the alleged assault to the hotel manager. The court released Rathod on bail with stringent conditions including a ₹2 lakh bond, travel restrictions, and prohibition from approaching the victim's residence. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
