As per the prosecution case, the mother of victim had lodged complaint on 06.10.2025 that on 05.10.2025 her minor daughter had gone to deliver food to her grand father and after delivering food, she did not return. On search being made, she came to know that the applicant had forcibly taken the girl to his hut where he committed sexual intercourse with her. Then the complainant brought her daughter to home and when she asked, the victim informed that for the past one month, applicant had been forcibly taking to his hut where he committed rape on 3 – 4 occasions.
3.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has not committed any offence as defined u/s 64(2)(m) of BNS, section 4(1) & 6 of POCSO Act and Section 3(2)(v) of the Special Act and the medical report does not support the prosecution case. He submits that certain land/agricultural dispute is existing between the applicant and the parents of the prosecutrix, due to which, the mother has filed false complaint against him. It is also submitted that there is no independent eyewitnesses to the incident of sexual assault. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 07.10.2025; the trial has not yet commenced and there is no immediate possibility of disposal of case, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail.
4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the victim was minor girl at the time of incident and the applicant had committed forcible sexual intercourse with her and there is eye-witness to the incident of sexual assault.

5. The victim along with her mother has appeared through VC from the concerned DLSA and the mother has raised objection to grant bail.
6. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the over all facts situation of the case especially the fact that the trial has not yet commenced, I am not inclined to release him on regular bail at this stage. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. Sd/-
