JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Gautam Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Sanat Kr. Jha, Addl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 13.06.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Kotalpokhar P.S. Case No.24 of 2024 registered for the offences punishable under sections 366/376 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner kidnapped the informant and committed rape upon her. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner, drawing attention of this Court to annexure-3 at page nos. 19-20 of the brief which is the joint compromise petition filed by the parties in the Court of learned A.C.J.M., Rajmahal, that therein, it has categorically been mentioned that with the intervention of well- wishers and common friends, the parties have compromised the case and a marriage has been solemnized between the petitioner and the victim and they are leading a happy conjugal life and a male child has been born out of the wedlock. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.11 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 03.03.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with 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 above-named 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.C.J.M., Rajmahal, in connection with Kotalpokhar P.S.
