In Brief
Jude Lobo, accused under IPC sections 328, 376 and 506 (involving administering noxious substance, rape, and criminal intimidation), sought anticipatory bail after his application was rejected by the Delhi High Court. The Supreme Court examined the FIR, the victim's recorded statement under CrPC Section 164, and WhatsApp communications between the parties. The Court found the petitioner had made out a prima facie case for bail. It granted anticipatory bail on condition of a personal bond of Rs 10,000, requiring full cooperation with investigation and impleading the complainant as a party.
