HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR
For the Petitioner : Mr. Raj Kishore Sahu, Advocate For the State
: Mr. Someshwar Roy, A.P.P.
08/25.07.2025 Heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.P.P.
2. The applicant, who is in custody since 11.10.2023, has renewed the prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with S.T. Case No. 09 of 2024 arising out of Rajmahal P.S. Case No. 235 of 2023 corresponding to G.R. No. 670 of 2023 registered for the offence under Section 365,376D,384, 504,506/34 of the IPC (charge framed under Section 365/34, 376D, 504/34 and 384/34 of the IPC), pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Rajmahal. It is petitioner’s third attempt for grant of regular bail.
3. The prayer for bail of this applicant was earlier dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 01.03.2024 in B.A. No. 519 of 2024 and thereafter vide order dated 31.08.2024, B.A. No. 3291 of 2024 was dismissed .
4. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that complete set of F.I.R along with its enclosures have been annexed with the present bail application and there is no suppression on his/ her part.
5. It has been further submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that victim’s statement is otherwise. As such prayer for bail has been renewed.
6. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail.
7. It prima facie appears that the victim has been coerced.
8. Considering the nature of allegations and the fact that earlier the prayer for bail has been rejected, I am not inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail.
9. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected.
