The State of Jharkhand 2. Informant (Victim) ….. Opp. Parties --------- CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. Subodh Kumar, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Lily Sahay, A.P.P For the Informant : Mr. S. K. Mahto, Advocate --------- 04/Dated: 30 th January, 2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The applicant, who is in custody since 05.07.2025, has renewed the prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with Mahila and Bal Sanrakshan Thana, Chas P.S. Case No.09 of 2025, registered for the offence under Section 69 of the BNS, 2023. 3. From perusal of the record, it appears that earlier the prayer for bail of the applicant has been dismissed as withdrawn vide order dated 25.09.2025, passed in B.A. No.8412 of 2025. 4. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that complete set of F.I.R along with its enclosures have been annexed with the present bail application and there is no suppression on his/ her part. Innocence of the applicant has been claimed and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that this applicant has been falsely implicated in this case. It has been alleged that on the false pretext of marriage, physical relationship has been established by this applicant. On the above basis, prayer for bail has been renewed. 5. Learned counsel for the State and learned counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail. 6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and from - 1 - B.A. No.10130 of 2025 2026:JHHC:2377 perusal of record, it appears that the victim is a married lady and her husband is alive and she has a daughter also. Thus, the allegation of false pretext of marriage is not made out in the facts and circumstances of the case. Considering the above facts, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant is directed to be released on bail, on his furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, -cum- Civil Judge (Junior Division), Bokaro, in connection with Mahila and Bal Sanrakshan Thana, Chas P.S. Case No.09 of 2025, on the condition that the applicant will submit self-attested photocopy of his Aadhaar Card and his mobile number before the learned trial court which he will always keep active and will not change it during pendency of this case without prior permission of the court.
