Case No. 49/2026 under Section 137 (2)/ 70 (2) BNS R/w Section 6 of the POCSO Act. 3. Mr. S. K. Poddar, learned counsel for the petitioner, has submitted that as per the FIR, the allegations levelled against the present petitioner are that he, along with two others, had taken away the minor victim, had raped her and left her in an unconscious state at the embankment near the market. He has submitted that, as per the medical report, there is no sign of any sexual activity and, further, it is an admitted position that the petitioner herein and the alleged minor victim were having a love affair. He has submitted that there was no physical interaction between them. Therefore, he has prayed that the petitioner, aged about 19 years and who has spent 72 days in detention, may be granted the privilege of bail during the remaining period of investigation. 4. The learned Addl. P.P has submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are grave, as two other persons had accompanied him to assist him in raping the victim and, therefore, the petitioner would not be entitled to the privilege of bail at this stage. 5. The learned counsel for the respondent No.2 has submitted that the family members of the petitioner herein are threatening the informant to settle the Page No.# 3/4 matter out of Court and, therefore, the privilege of bail may not be granted to the petitioner at this stage. 6. I have considered the materials available, and I have also seen the Case Diary which the learned Addl has produced. P.P. 7. Having regard to the absence of any medical evidence, the statement made before the doctor, who had recorded the first history, and the age of the present petitioner, which is about 19 years, I am of the considered opinion that the custodial interrogation of the petitioner for the present may not be necessary, in the event strict conditions are imposed for him to not to interfere or interact in any manner with the informant or the family members of the informant including the alleged minor victim. 8. In such circumstances, it is directed that the petitioner shall be allowed to be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 15,000/- with two local sureties, who have command and control over the petitioner, of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Special Judge (POCSO), Morigaon, Assam. 9. The learned Special Judge, POCSO shall be at liberty to impose such other conditions as may be necessary to ensure that the petitioner does not in any manner interfere with the investigation of the case. 10. It is further provided that the petitioner shall not reside in the vicinity/locality of the minor victim nor shall in any manner interact, coerce or threaten either the minor victim or family members of the minor victim in any manner whatsoever.

Accordingly, this bail application stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
