During the course of the investigation, the prosecution was recovered on 03.01.2024 from the possession of the present applicant. Based on this, offence has been registered against the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He further submits that the victim has been examined before the trial Court, who has not supported the case of the prosecution. The applicant is in jail since 03.10.2025, and the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude. Therefore, he prays for the grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposed the bail application and submits that the applicant committed the grave offence with the minor girl; therefore, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. The victim and her father appeared through V.C. from the concerned DLSA and recorded no objection to grant of bail to the applicant. 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, and also looking to the statement of the victim, who has been examined before the trial Court and also considering the fact that the applicant is in custody since 03.10.2025, the victim and her father not raised objection in granting bail to the applicant, the trial is likely to take considerable time, therefore, at this stage, without commenting on merits of the case, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail. 8. Accordingly, the application is allowed and it is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court.
