Order No.03 Dated- 11.03.2026
Heard the parties. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Garu P.S. Case No.35 of 2025 registered for the offences punishable under sections 70(1) of the B.N.S., 2023. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner was involved in commission of gang rape. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the victim has not stated of commission of gang rape upon the victim rather the children of the alleged victim has categorically stated that the petitioner took them to place of eating and the medical examination report of the victim reveals that no injury mark was found in the private part of the victim and no any recent evidence of sexual activity can be seen and the current evidence did not suggest any recent sexual activity. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is then submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 10.09.2025, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 01 of the bail application. It is next submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and further undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the
witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the abovenamed petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned A.C.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Garu P.S. Case No.35 of 2025 with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case and will furnish his mobile number and a copy of his Aadhar Card in the court below with the undertaking that he will not change his mobile number during the trial of the case, with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the informant or the witnesses of the case in any manner during the trial of the case.
