The applicant, who is in custody since 27.04.2025, has approached this Court for grant of regular bail in connection with S.T. No.74 of 2025, arising out of Kuru P.S. Case No.52 of 2025, corresponding to G.R. No.243 of 2025, registered for the offence under Sections 64(1)/ 351(3) of the BNS, 2023. It appears that the applicant has been made an accused for committing rape upon his bhabhi. 3. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant that complete set of F.I.R along with its enclosures have been annexed with the present bail application and there is no suppression on his/ her part. Innocence of the applicant has been claimed and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted that the victim is more matured than this applicant. This is nothing but false allegation and further, the victim has already been examined. On the above basis, prayer for bail has been made. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. 5. Considering the fact that both the parties are major and the victim has already been examined, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail.
