Case of prosecution in brief is that applicant called the victim in a cafe and thereafter committed forceful sexual intercourse with her. Incident was reported to the concerned police station, based on which aforementioned crime was registered and applicant was arrested. 3. Learned counsel for applicant submits that applicant has been falsely implicated in the crime, he has not committed any such offence as alleged. PAWAN KUMAR JHA Digitally signed by PAWAN KUMAR JHA 2 / 2 From the evidence of victim before the Trial Court, it appears that the victim was a consenting party, hence, no offence as alleged is to be made out. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission made by learned counsel for the applicant and further submits that in view of the nature of offence, and the evidence available, applicant is not entitled for grant of bail. As per material available in the charge-sheet, victim on the date of incident was less than15 years of age. 5. Pursuant to the notice issued by this Court, father of victim is present before this Court through virtual mode from D.L.S.A. Raipur and raised objection in grant of bail to applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the documents placed on record. 7. Taking into consideration facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation, looking to the date of incident of the year 2022 and date of arrest of applicant on 19.05.2025, and further age of victim to be less than 15 years on the date of incident, I do not find present to be a fit case to allow this application. 8. Accordingly, bail application is dismissed. Sd/- (Parth Prateem Sahu) pwn JUDGE
