In compliance of order dated 08.05.2026, the victim is present along with her mother through virtual mode from the concerned DLSA, and on being PRAKASH KUMAR Digitally signed by PRAKASH KUMAR Date: 2026.06.17 17:35:03 +0530 2 asked, they have raised ‘no objection’ on the application filed by the applicant for grant of bail. 3. The prosecution case, in brief, is that the victim who is a minor girl, has lodged a report alleging that on the pretext of marriage, the applicant/accused made forceful physical relationship with her. On the basis of above background, an FIR was registered and applicant was arrested in the alleged crime/offence on 07.12.2025. 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 and her mother has already been examined before the trial Court and copy of their statements has been filed in this bail application with covering memo, wherein these witnesses have turned hostile and not supported the case of the prosecution. The victim has specifically stated that the applicant has not established any physical relationship with her. He further submits that there is delay of about 9 months in lodging the FIR. He further submits that applicant is in jail since 07.12.2025, charge-sheet has been already filed and conclusion of trial may take some time, hence, applicant may be released on bail. 5. Per contra, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application. 6. Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature and allegations against the applicant, and upon perusal of the statement of the victim wherein she has turned hostile and further considering the fact that victim and her mother has raised ‘no objection’ on grant of bail to the applicant, further, conclusion of the trial may take some time, without 3 commenting on the merits of the case, I am inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 8. Accordingly, bail application is allowed. It is directed that applicant shall be released on regular bail, on his furnishing a bail bond in sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety in like sum to satisfaction of concerned Court on the conditions that- a) Applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade him from disclosing such fact to the Court. b) Applicant shall not act in any manner which will be prejudicial to fair and expeditious trial, and c) Applicant shall appear before trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court till disposal of the trial.
