Accordingly, the police has registered the aforementioned case against the accused/applicant.

He further submits that after filing of the F.I.R., the father of the victim girl used to demand money from the accused/applicant. Mr. B. Sarma, learned Addl. P.P. has produced the Case Diary before this Court. This Court has gone through the statement recorded under Section 183 BNS of the victim girl as well as the other materials brought before this Court. It is seen that both the accused/applicant as well as the victim girl are of the same locality and knew each other. There are possibilities of certain misunderstanding and because of which, the F.I.R. was allegedly lodged against the accused/applicant who is 18 years of age. Taking into consideration the age of the accused/applicant as well as other factors, this Court is of the view that the accused/applicant should be allowed to go on pre-arrest bail at this stage. Accordingly, it is directed that in the event of arrest of the accused/applicant in connection with the aforesaid case, he shall be released on pre-arrest bail on furnishing of a bail bond of Rs.20,000/- with a local surety of like nature to the satisfaction of the arresting authority under the following conditions :- (1) That the accused/applicant shall appear before the Page No.# 4/4 Investigating Officer as and when called for and fully cooperate with the investigation of the case.
