As per the prosecution’s case, on 25.04.2025, the applicant seduced the minor victim, took her to Raipur and committed repeatedly sexual intercourse with her. Based on this, offence has been registered against the present applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He further submits that the victim voluntarily accompanied the applicant and was a consenting party, therefore, no offence is made out against the appellant. He next submits that the victim has been examined and has not stated anything against the applicant. The applicant has no criminal antecedents and has been in jail since 06.05.2025 and the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the victim was minor and out of 20 witnesses only 05 have been examined till date and several important witnesses remain to be examined, therefore, at this stage, he may not be enlarged on bail. 6. Despite service of notice, the victim is not appeared. 7. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and gravity of the offence, and on perusal of the court statement of the victim and the fact that the applicant has been in jail 3 since 06.05.2025, out of 20 witnesses, only 05 have been examined till date, and the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude, therefore, I find it appropriate to release the applicant on bail. 9. Accordingly, the application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed in that behalf. 10. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Sourabh P.
