Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He further submits that statements of the victim and her parents have already been recorded before the Trial Court and they are not supporting the case of prosecution. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 03.08.2025, out of 17 prosecution witnesses only 3 have been examined till date and the trial is likely to take time to be finalized, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the victim was minor, therefore, looking to the nature of offence, the applicant may not be released on bail. 6. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material available on record. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution, the detention period of the applicant, and statements of victim and her parents, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 8. Accordingly, the bail application is Allowed. 9. It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs. 20,000/- with one solvent surety for the like sum to the satisfaction of the Trial Court for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed.
