The petitioner is seeking regular bail in connection with Nirsa P.S. Case No. 282/2025, registered under sections 96, 3(5) of BNS, 2023, corresponding to Sections 366-A, 34 of I.P.C. and section 12 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offices (POCSO) Act, 2012, pending in the Court of learned Special Judge, POCSO Act, Dhanbad. 3. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 21.05.2025. He submits that petitioner and victim were in relationship and there is no physical assault. He submits that charge has been framed against the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer and submits that allegation of taking away the victim is there. 5. Considering that petitioner is in custody since 21.05.2025, from the impugned order it appears that victim has stated that she stayed with the petitioner in the lodge from 17.05.2025 to 20.05.2025 and prima facie it appears that there is consensual relationship and charge has been framed against the petitioner, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on regular 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 Judge, POCSO Act, Dhanbad, in connection with Nirsa P.S.
