No. 4491 of 2026 --- Dula Hansda … … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … … Opposite Party --- CORAM : HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RONGON MUKHOPADHYAY --- For the Petitioner : Mr. Suraj Singh, Advocate For the Opposite Party : Special P.P. --- 2/26.05.2026 Heard Mr. Suraj Singh, learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Special P.P. for the State. The petitioner is an accused in connection with Chakulia P.S. Case No. 22 of 2026. The petitioner is alleged to have committed rape upon the informant. Though, it has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that there is delay of 6 days in lodging the FIR and the medical report does not support the factum of rape, but in the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of BNSS, she has supported the allegation levelled against the petitioner. Regard being had to the above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner and accordingly, his prayer is rejected at this stage. (Rongon Mukhopadhyay, J) R. Shekhar Cp 3
