This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This is an application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Deogarh PS Case No.14 of 2020 arising out of Spl GR Case No.02 of 2020, pending in the Court of learned Addl. Sessions Judge-cum-Judge Special Court, Deogarh for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 3/2(2)(n)/376(3) of IPC r/w Sec.6 of POCSO Act, on the allegation of committing rape and aggravated penetrative sexual assault upon the victim aged about less than 16 years. 3. Heard, Mr. Dipti Ranjan Bhokta, learned proxy counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. Bishnu Prasad Sarangi learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. M.K. Mohanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record, but p. 2 none appears for the victim despite being duly informed as intimated by learned State counsel. 4. Admittedly, the petitioner is in custody since 24.01.2020, but trial is yet to be concluded. Right to speedy trial is the fundamental right of an accused, but that appears to have not been adhered in this case. In view of the above facts and after having considered the rival submissions and taking into account the mandate of Section 35(2) of the POCSO Act, which prescribes for disposal of the case as far as possible within one year from the date of taking cognizance of offences, this Court without expressing any view on merits admits the petitioner to bail. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands allowed and the petitioner is allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) only with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. 7. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. (G. Satapathy) Judge Jayakrushna Designation: Jr. Stenographer
