In compliance of order dated 17.04.2026, the victim is present along with her parents through video conferencing from the concerned DLSA, and on being asked, they have raised ‘objection’ to the application filed by the applicant for grant of bail. 3. Case of prosecution in brief, is that on 09.03.2025, one relative of the prosecutrix lodged a written report at Police Station Bakarkatta stating that on the night of 08.03.2025 at about 10:00 p.m., the prosecutrix, along with two other girls, had gone to a nearby kirana shop to purchase snacks. While returning, it is alleged that two unknown boys forcibly took the prosecutrix towards nearby fields, where they allegedly undressed her and committed sexual intercourse with her one after another. During the incident, the accused persons disclosed their names as Vijay and Heman. After about one and a half hours, the prosecutrix returned and narrated the incident, on the basis of which the report was lodged. Thereafter, the present applicants were arrested on 10.03.2025 for the alleged offences under Sections 70(2), 351(2) of the BNS and Sections 4 and 6 of the POCSO Act. 4. Learned counsel for the applicants submits that applicants are innocent and have been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that there is no medical report of the victim nor FSL report has been produced by the prosecution. He further submits that the applicants are in jail since 10.03.2025 and trial is likely to take some time, therefore, it is prayed that applicants may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned State Counsel opposes the bail application filed by the applicants. 6. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 3 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, nature and gravity of the offence, objection raised by the victim and her parents and other materials available in the case diary, without further commenting on merits of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicants. 8. Accordingly, the present bail application is rejected. Sd/-d/- (Radhakishan Agrawal) Judge Prakash
