2. The case of the prosecution in brief is that, on the basis of written report lodged by the father of the victim, the police registered the offence and as per the averment of the written report, it is alleged that in the month of May, 2025, he along with his wife went to Pune (Maharashtra) for his livelihood and left two minor daughters at the house of neighbours and after a week he received a call from the victim where it has been informed that on 27/05/2025 at about 12.30, the applicant entered into the house and with intention to outrage her modesty caught the victims. Thereafter, the applicant was arrested.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant would contend that there was a land dispute between the father of the applicant and granddaughter of the victim, therefore, the false report has been lodged just to implicate the applicant. He would next contend that the father of the applicant has also lodged the report and a civil suit is also pending. He would next contend that the applicant is in jail since 09/08/2025 and final conclusion of the trial will take sufficient time, therefore, the applicant may kindly be enlarged on bail.
4. Per contra, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application submitted by the applicant.
5. Father of the victim appeared through the concerned DLSA and he raised objection with regard to grant of bail to the applicant.
6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties at length, perused the case and other materials available on record with utmost circumspection.
7. Taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case and
3 / 3 further considering the nature of offence and the manner in which the offence has been committed as the applicant entered into the house of the victim when the girls were alone in the house and thereby tried to outrage the modesty of the victim/girls and the objection raised by the father of the victim, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail.
8. Accordingly, the present MCRC stands rejected. SD/- (Arvind Kumar Verma)
