Learned advocate, therefore, prays that the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent conditions on the ground of incarceration. Learned advocate for the State produces the case diary and draws the attention of the court to the statement of the victim under section 183 of the BNSS as well as the medico-legal examination report. I have taken into account the overall circumstances of the case including the evidence of the victim. 2 Having considered the materials appearing therein, I am of the opinion that further detention of the present petitioner is unwarranted as 14 more witnesses are yet to be examined by the prosecution. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Amritendu Pradhan shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, 1st Court, Special court under POCSO Act, Kakdwip, South 24 Parganas.
