Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Birsanagar P.S. Case No. 98 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 126(1), 115(1), 64(1), 303(2), 352, 351(2), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023, pending in the Court of Sri Abhishek Prasad, learned Judicial Magistrate, Jamshedpur.
Petitioner is alleged to have established consensual physical relationship with the prosecutrix, who is a married lady. It is alleged that petitioner had recorded their intimate moments and thereafter, started blackmailing her.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the prosecution has not recovered any material to show that the intimate moments of the parties was recorded by the petitioner.
Mr. Rohan Mazumdar, learned counsel for the informant has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that petitioner also used to assault the victim.
Considering the fact that parties were in consensual physical relationship and the victim is a married lady, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of Sri Abhishek Prasad, learned Judicial Magistrate, Jamshedpur or his successor, in connection with Birsanagar P.S. Case No. 98 of 2024.
