HI
In general in a 376 and 420 case, bail will not be granted so easily.
Also even if the girl withdraws the petition, it is not possible for the person to either get discharged from the case or get bail on the grounds that the girl has withdrawn the petition.
You have 2 choices to apply for the bail.
a) Option 1: you can seek bail if investigations are complete and charge sheet filed.
b) Option2: You can seek bail on the grounds that your friend is in jail for more than 20 days and that the investigations are over. second option is only a 50% chance if investigations are pending.

Sec. 376 IPC would not attract. The police ought to observe the same and rest of the sections are simple in nature for which the police can enlarge your friend with a (police)station bail U/ s 41 Cr.P.C.

(comming to the matter of abortion, the girl (and the doctor also) is punishable for homicide in case of proper evidence)

Anyhow ur friend was arrested and remanded, your friend can approach the High Court for quqsh the FIR/sec.376 IPC.
