The gist of the allegations in the FIR is that on 15.09.2025 which was lodged by the alleged victim woman with allegations that on 15.09.2025 in the evening the accused trespassed into her house and tried to outrage her modesty. It is further alleged that the accused regularly urinates on her door and fencing and makes illicit proposal to stay with him and also threatens her and her mother. 4.

Case No. 63/2025 and out of the four witnesses, two witnesses including the informant/victim have already been examined. 6. Considering the length of detention and the progress of trial, I am of the considered view that subject to suitable conditions to address the safety concerns of the victim, the petitioner can be allowed to go on bail, at this stage. 7. In such view of the matter, the petitioner is hereby allowed to go on bail of Rs. 40,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the concerned learned Court and subject to the conditions that, (i) He shall be available for the remaining trial, Page No.# 3/3 (ii) He shall not hamper or tamper with the evidence.
