He prays for pre-arrest bail. 3. Learned State Advocate opposes the prayer. He shows me the case diary. He fairly admits that the victim refused medical examination. 2 4. Apart from the fact that the victim refused medical examination, I also see that the FIR was lodged after one year and one and half months after the alleged incident. The victim is a married lady. 5.

Accordingly, in the event of arrest, the petitioner, namely Alam Khandakar @ Sahalam Khandakar @ Sahalom Khandkar, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and shall abide by the conditions laid down in Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure/Section 482(2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 until further orders and on further condition that the petitioner shall report to the Inspector in charge of the concerned police station once in a fortnight and also as and when called for until further orders.
