JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. S.P. Roy, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Ajay Kr. Pathak, A.P.P. --------- 03/Dated:-12.03.2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 96 of B.N.S., 2023. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case and he has committed no offence as alleged in the F.I.R. He further submits that the statement made by the victim under Section 180 of BNSS that she herself went with the petitioner as they were having love affair and thus has not supported the case of the prosecution. He further submits that the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and the petitioner for no offence has been languishing in custody since 08.09.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. He submits that the petitioner is ready to abide by every condition as imposed by this court. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the facts of the case and looking to the allegations made against this petitioner coupled with the statement made by the victim under Section 180 & 183 of BNSS which is apparent from the impugned order and also that the petitioner is having no criminal antecedent and that the petitioner is in custody since 08.09.2025; therefore, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Godda in connection with Godda(M) P.S. Case No. 150/2025 corresponding to G.R. No.1064/2025. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co- operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
