A.B.A. No.6783 of 2024 Apprehending their arrest in connection with Lawalong P.S. Case No.36 of 2024 instituted for the offences punishable under Section 448/341/ 323/325/354/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 8 of POCSO Act, the petitioners have moved this Court for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is that the petitioners in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons consequent upon the co-accused Mahtab Alam was caught red handed while committing sexual harassment of the minor victim girl of the informant, trespassed to her house, outraged the modesty of the female members of the family, caused grievous hurt to them, after breaking open the lock. It is submitted that the allegation against the petitioners is false. It is then submitted that from the side of the petitioners, Lawalong P.S. Case No.37 of 2024 has been instituted. It is then submitted that the petitioner No.2 is a child in conflict with law. It is further submitted that the petitioner No.2 will not annoy or disturb the informant of any of his family members in any manner during the pendency of the case. It is further submitted that the petitioners are ready and willing to co-operate with the investigation of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioners be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Learned Addl.P.P. appearing for the State submits that the allegation against the petitioner No.1 is serious in nature; hence, custodial interrogation of the petitioner No.1 is required during the investigation of the case for recovery of the weapons of offence and the details of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner No.1 ought not to be given the privileges of anticipatory bail. Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner No.1 as well as the requirement of his custodial interrogation during the investigation of the case for recovery of the weapons of offence and the details of the case, this Court is not inclined to give the privileges of anticipatory bail to the abovenamed petitioner No.1. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of privileges of anticipatory bail to the abovenamed petitioner No.1 is rejected. Keeping in view that the petitioner No.2 is a child in conflict with law, this Court is inclined to grant privileges of anticipatory bail to the petitioner No.2. Accordingly, the petitioner No.2 is directed to surrender in the Court below within six weeks from today and in the event of his arrest or surrendering, he will be enlarged on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Twenty five thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Special Judge, POCSO Act, Chatra in connection with Lawalong P.S.
