JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. R.S. Mazumdar, Sr. Advocate : Mr. Rohan Mazumdar, Advocate For the State : Mr. P.D. Agrawal, Spl. P.P. ------ Order No.02 Dated- 20.06.2025 Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Dumka (M) P.S. Case No.28 of 2025 corresponding to Special POCSO Case No. 06 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 75 of the B.N.S., 2023 and under Section 8/10 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. The learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner who is a teacher in the Primary School, put his hand below the shoulder of the victim girl and did indecent act with her. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and charge sheet has already been submitted in this case. 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 26.02.2025, 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 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 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 Special Juge (POCSO Act), Dumka, in connection with Dumka (M) P.S. Case No.28 of 2025 corresponding to Special POCSO Case No. 06 of 2025 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 or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
