Case No.88 of 2025, for the offence under Sections 115(2), 64, 351(2) and 352 of the B.N.S., 2023, pending in the court of Sri Satish Kumar Munda, learned Judicial Magistrate First Class, Godda. In the night of 01.09.2024, petitioner stayed in the house of the prosecutrix. Her husband was also present there. It is alleged that petitioner sexually assaulted the prosecutrix. It was submitted that there is inordinate delay for about eight months in lodging of this case. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail.
