JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Vikash Kumar, Advocate Mr. Ritesh Kumar, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Rakesh Kr. Sinha, A.P.P. --------- 03/ 02.04.2026 The counter-affidavit filed by the opposite party-State is taken on record. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 366 of IPC and subsequently, charge for the offences under Sections 323, 366, 376(2)(n), 376(2)(j), 506 of the IPC was framed. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Learned counsel further submits that from perusal of FIR it is apparent that both the victim and petitioner are major and at best, it is a case of consensual relationship where the victim herself surrendered to the petitioner and the entire occurrence, if any, was consensual in nature. Learned counsel further submits that the victim and the petitioner were friend for last 6 years and they went Vishakhapatnam where they stayed for 13 days. The medical report of the victim clearly transpires that there was no recent sign of sexual intercourse. He further submits that petitioner is languishing in custody since 23.12.2023; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. Learned counsel further submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 2026:JHHC:9277 2 5. Having regard to the above, coupled with the fact that petitioner and the victim were friends and knowing each other for last 6 years, and also looking to the period of custody of the petitioner; I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-III at Seraikella, in connection with S.T. Case No. 52 of 2024 arising out of Adityapur P.S. Case No. 401 of 2023. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and if any adverse report will come against the petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner.
