This is the first bail application filed under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short, the B.N.S.S.) for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No. 22/2026 registered at Police Station – Odgi, District Surajpur (C.G.), for the offence punishable under Section 64(2)(m), 296 of Bhartiya Nyay Samhita (for short, the BNS) and Section 6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012 (for short, the POCSO). 2. As per the prosecution’s case, the applicant is alleged to have committed sexual intercourse with the minor victim/prosecutrix on the false pretext of marriage and thereby established physical relationship and also threatened her during such period and subsequently the applicant refused to marry her. The victim/prosecutrix lodged a report against the applicant. Based on this, offence under the aforesaid sections has been registered against the present applicant.

He further submits that he has not committed any offence. He also submits that charge-sheet has also been filed before the competent court and he is in jail since 12.04.2026 and that, trial is going on and it may take some considerable time to conclude. On these premises, he prays for the grant of regular bail to the applicant. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application, while submitting that the victim/prosecutrix is a minor and the applicant, on the false pretext marriage, has continuously established physical relationship with a minor victim at the time of offence. He further submits that the applicant committed a serious offence, therefore, the applicant does not deserve regular bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel appearing for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Taking into consideration the entire facts and circumstances of the case and considering the nature and gravity of offence and taking into account that the trial is going on, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 7. Accordingly, the application filed under Section 483 of B.N.S.S. is rejected. 8. Office is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for information.
