In these Criminal Applications, the challenge is to the legality and validity of the Order dated 6th May 2026 passed by the learned Special Judge (under POCSO Act) & Additional Sessions Judge, Pune in Criminal Bail Application Nos.1710 of 2026, 1677 of 2026, 1695 of 2026 and 1674 of 2026, respectively. By the impugned Orders, anticipatory bail has been granted to the private Respondents. 2. However, at the outset, Ms. Yadav, learned APP, for the Respondent-State, states that a ‘B’ Summary has been filed in Crime No.193 of 2026 (wrongly mentioned as Crime No.193 of 2025), registered with Hinjawadi Police Station, Pimpri-Chinchwad, Pune, for the offences punishable under Sections 70(1), 351(3), 356(2) and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (“BNS”). 3. In view of the filing of the ‘B’ Summary, it is not necessary to consider the challenge to the impugned Orders granting anticipatory bail to the Accused at this stage. 4. However, if, upon consideration of the protest petition against the said ‘B’ Summary, the learned Trial Court rejects the ‘B’ Summary, the Applicant is granted leave to file fresh Criminal Application in that event. 5. Accordingly, the Criminal Applications are disposed of, subject to above. 6. It is clarified that this Court has not considered the merits, as a ‘B’ Arjun 2 09-APPLN-208-2026 & 10-12.doc Summary has been filed and all contentions on merits are expressly kept open. [Madhav J.
