Order No.02 Dated- 21.04.2025
Heard the parties.
The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 24 of 2025 arising out of Mahila P.S. Case No.30 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 74/75(1)/79/64/62 of the B.N.S., 2023.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner attempted to commit rape upon the informant-victim. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the wife of the petitioner first instituted Lohardaga (M) P.S. Case No. 26 of 2024 against the husband of the informant and as a counter blast, this false case has been foisted. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.14 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 28.01.2025 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 15 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail.
The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail.
Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed
petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.S.J.-I-cum-Special Judge, Lohardaga, in connection with S.T. Case No. 24 of 2025 arising out of Mahila P.S. Case No.30 of 2024 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant in any manner during the trial of the case.
