Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharya Mr. Saptarshi Chakraborty ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits petitioner is in custody for 1 year and 4 months. Charge sheet has been submitted under Section 8 of the POCSO Act along with Section 109 of the BNS (along with other sections). So far as the stage of the trial is concerned, one of the victim has already been examined and the evidence of the other victim is in progress. 2 Learned advocate for the defacto complainant is present and submits that he has instructions to leave the bail application/prayer to the discretion of the Court. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail, produces the injury report as well as the statement of the victim(s) under Section 183 of the BNSS. I have taken into account the overall circumstances including the period of detention of the present petitioner. Having regard to the period of detention of the present petitioner and without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail on some conditions. Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Kartick Jana shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of Learned Additional District and Sessions Judge, 1st Court cum Special Court under POCSO Act, Kakdwip. If on bail, petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of 24 Parganas South without the prior permission of the learned Special Court. Additionally, petitioner shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Frezerganj Coastal Police Station without prior permission of the Learned 3 Special Court or the Officer-in-Charge/Inspector-in-Charge of the local Police Station.
