JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 3 30-04-2026 1. Heard the parties. 2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Sadar P.S. Case No. 762 of 2025 dated 28.08.2025 registered under Section 126(2), 115(2), 76, 3(5) of the B.N.S. 2023 and Section 8, 12 of the POCSO Act. 3. As per the first information report, it is alleged that the petitioner, who is a compounder, on the pretext of providing treatment and infusing injection to the minor daughter of the informant, aged about 15 years, called her in his clinic and removed her under garments and started touching her private parts with ill intention. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence in the Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.12077 of 2026(3) dt.30-04-2026 2/2 manner alleged. In fact the victim used to make reels of the villagers which was objected to by the villagers in which the petitioner played active role as a result of which he has been implicated in this false case. The victim girl has not been medically examined on the point of her age due to which it is difficult to ascertain whether at the time of he occurrence she was minor or major. 5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that petitioner allegedly touched the private parts of the minor victim for sexual pleasure. He further submits that the victim girl in her statement recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S. has fully corroborated the allegation. 6. Regard being had to the submission made by the parties and considering the statement of the victim girl recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S. as well as the allegation made in the F.I.R., I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. The same is rejected. praful/- (Anil Kumar Sinha, J) U T
