This is first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bhartiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 for grant of regular bail to the applicant in Crime No. 168/2024 registered at Police Station 64(2) (m), 65(1), 70(2), 351(2) of B.N.S., and Sections 4 & 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. 2. The prosecution case is that the victim who is a minor girl had lodged the report on 17.08.2024 to the effect that in the intervening A ANNAJEE RAO Digitally signed by A ANNAJEE RAO Date: 2025.08.11 14:17:31 +0530 2 night of 15.08.2024 & 16.8.2024, the present applicant along with other accused took her away to the house of other accused and committed forcible sexual intercourse with her and after the incident he along with other co-accused left the victim at her house and even thereafter committed repeated sexual acts with her. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim has been examined and in her court statement nothing has been stated against the present applicant Parasram Komra and her statement speaks against the co-accused Vinod, therefore, no offence is made out against the applicant. He next submits that though the prosecutrix is stated to be minor, yet the evidence of her correct age has not been produced by prosecution and even the medical report does not support the case of prosecution. He further submits that the applicant is in jail since 21.08.2024 and till date out of a total 21 witnesses, only the victim has been examined and there is no immediate possibility of disposal of trial, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the girl was minor and in FSL report positive result was found. 5. The victim girl along with her mother appeared through VC from the concerned DLSA and objected to bail. 6. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and looking to the long custody period of the applicant, without going into the merits of the case, at this stage, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 3 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the said court as and when directed.
