JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Santosh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Nehala Sharmin, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 12.06.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Bokaro Thermal P.S. Case No.03 of 2025 (S.T. No. 115 of 2025) registered for the offences punishable under sections 69/115(2)/352/3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner established sexual intercourse with the victim on the promise of marriage. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the victim is a major lady. It is further submitted that at best it is a case of consensual sexual relationship between the two major persons. It is next submitted that the petitioner has no criminal antecedent as has been mentioned in paragraph no.12 of the bail application. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 21.02.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 06 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 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 Spl. 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.-II FTC, Bermo at Tenughat, in connection with Bokaro Thermal P.S.
