Page No.# 2/3 This is an application filed under Section 482 BNSS, praying for pre- arrest bail by the petitioner, namely, Pradumnya Bora, in connection with Kachua PS Case No. 32/2025 registered under Section 108 of the BNS, 2023, read with Section 10 of the POCSO Act, 2012. The brief facts of the case is that one 15 years old girl had committed suicide by hanging after that her parents came to know that on 13.03.2025, the present petitioner being her teacher had touched her private parts for that matter she had slapped the present petitioner after that the girl was removed from the class. Later on she informed her lover, Moni Biswas about the said fact. I have considered the submission made by the learned counsel for the petitioner. It appears that the FIR is the result of whatever the parents of the girl had heard from Moni Biswas. Accordingly, this Court is of the opinion that under the given circumstances, the petitioner does not deserve to be retained in custody. Considering the facts as well as the materials available thereon, this Court finds that custodial interrogation of the petitioner is not required for the purpose of investigation of the case. Therefore, he may be granted the privilege of pre- arrest bail. Accordingly, it is provided that in the event of arrest, the petitioner shall be released on pre-arrest bail, in connection with the above noted case on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with a suitable surety of like amount, to the satisfaction of the arresting authority. With condition that the petitioner shall appear before the Investigating Police Officer within ten days from today and shall co-operate with the investigation.
