Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned counsel for the State. 2. The applicant, who is in custody since 22.01.2021, has approached this Court through JHALSA, Ranchi and renewed his prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with Special POCSO Case No.27 of 2022, arising out of Telco P.S. Case No.05 of 2022, registered for the offence under Section 376-D of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4 & 6 of the POCSO Act, pending in the court of learned Special Judge, POCSO, Jamshedpur. 3. The prayer for bail of the applicant was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 05.08.2022 passed in B.A No.6164 of 2022. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of FIR along with its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. Innocence has been claimed by the learned counsel for the applicant and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted that the charge has already been framed against this applicant. He has no criminal antecedent. On the above basis, prayer for bail has been renewed. 5. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. 6. From perusal of the report sent by the learned Trial Court, it appears that out of four witnesses, till date only two witnesses have been examined including the victim girl. 7. Considering the period of custody and the fact that the victim has already been examined, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant, named above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge, POCSO, Jamshedpur in connection with Special POCSO Case No.27 of 2022, arising out of Telco P.S. Case No.05 of 2022, subject to condition that the applicant(s) will submit self-attested photocopy/photocopies of his/her/their Aadhaar Card(s) and also submit his/her/their mobile number(s) before the learned court below which he/she/they will always keep active and will not change it during pendency of this case without prior permission of the court.
