Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State. Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66231 of 2025(6) dt.24-02-2026 2/3 3. The petitioners seek bail in a case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 126 (2), 115 (2), 137 (2), 70 (1), 351 (2) (3) and 3 (5) of B.N.S and Section 4/6 of POCSO Act. 4. As per the prosecution case, petitioners along with other co-accused persons is alleged to have abducted minor daughter of the informant and committed gang rape on her and also threatened her of dire consequences. 5. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioners have falsely been implicated in the present case and the provision of POCSO Act would not be applicable as according to the statement of the victim girl she is aged about 19 years and the medical examination report of the victim is not on record. Petitioners are in custody since 15.05.2025 with no criminal antecedent. Neither the medical examination report nor the forensic report of the petitioners is on record. 6. Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant oppose the bail petitions on the ground that the victim is a minor girl and she has completely supported the case of the prosecution by specifically naming these petitioners in her statement both under Sections 180 and 183 of B.N.S.S. 7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and also considering the fact that the petitioners have been specifically named by the victim in her statement under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.66231 of 2025(6) dt.24-02-2026 3/3 petitioners, the applications are thus rejected. 8. The learned court concerned is, however, directed to expedite the trial without giving any unnecessary adjournments. vashudha/- (Soni Shrivastava, J) U T
