JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Santosh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mr. Fahad Allam, 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 Nawadih P.S. Case No.02 of 2025 (S.T. No.114 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 376, 406, 420, 506 of the Indian Penal Code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner established physical relationship with the victim on the promise of marriage but did not marry her and took Rs.4 Lakhs on loan from her. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the allegation at best is of a consensual physical relationship between two adult persons. It is next submitted that the petitioner has paid substantial amount to the informant as is evident from the Annexure-2 of this bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in para-15 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 17.02.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 6 of the bail application. It is further 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 or the witnesses of the case 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 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 Additional Sessions Judge IInd, FTC, Bermo at Tenughat, in connection with Nawadih P.S. Case No.02 of 2025 (S.T. No.114 of 2025) with the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and photocopy of the Aadhar Card with an 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 or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
