He further submits that only on suspicion the petitioners have been implicated in this case. He also submits that now a good sense has prevailed between the parties, and the informant has filed an affidavit before the learned Special Judge, POCSO Act, Chatra, saying that the girl herself, on her own volition has gone along with Neeraj Bharti @ Neeraj Bhuiyan, on this ground he submits that petitioners may be granted the privilege of anticipatory bail. 4.

In view of the aforesaid submissions of the learned counsels for the parties and further considering Annexure-2 which is an affidavit ( 2025:JHHC:30165 ) --3-- A.B.A. No. 4129 of 2025 filed by the informant before the learned Special Judge, POCSO Act, Chatra, it is crystal clear that allegations made against the petitioners are misconceived and only on the grounds of suspicion, the petitioners have been implicated in the case and the petitioners are said to be the co-villagers of the informant. 5.
