The victim along with her mother appeared virtually from concerned DLSA and recorded ‘objection’ in granting bail to the applicant. 2. The applicant has preferred this 1st bail application under Section 483 of Bhartiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita Act 2023 for grant of regular bail as she is arrested in connection with crime No. 72/2025, registered at Police Station – Arjuni, District- Dhamtari (C.G.) for offence punishable under Sections 64 & 89 of BNS and Section 6 of the POCSO Act, 2012. 3.

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 the main accused is the juvenile offender who has already been granted bail by this Court. There is no evidence available on record against the applicant. The DNA report is also negative. On the date of incident i.e. 30.04.2025, the applicant was also not present in the lodge. The applicant neither a doctor nor she is medical practitioner. Furthermore, the applicant is in jail since 03.07.2025 and the chare-sheet has been filed. There are total 23 prosecution witnesses and trial has not commenced till date and it is likely to take some 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 there are sufficient evidence available on record against the applicant, 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, detention period of the applicant and the fact that the applicant is a lady, the main accused is stated to be the juvenile offender who has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 20.08.2025 passed in CRR No. 966/2025. Further considering that the trial is likely to take time to be finalized, 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 her appearance before the said Court as and when directed.
