As per the prosecution case, on 02.12.2025 the complainant lodged a report alleging that on 30.11.2025 in midnight the present applicant and two other accused entered her house and outraged the modesty of her minor daughter. On that report, crime was registered ALLENA ANNAJEE RAO Digitally signed by ALLENA ANNAJEE RAO Date: 2026.03.27 18:33:10 +0530 2 and on the basis of memorandum statement of juvenile accused the present applicant was arrested. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that neither the FIR nor the statement of victim under section 183 BNS do not mention the name of appellant; even no Test Identification Parade was conducted to identify the applicant and merely on memorandum statement of juvenile accused, the applicant has been inculpated in the crime. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 09.01.2026; charge sheet has been filed and there is no immediate possibility of disposal of case, therefore, the applicant be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the victim was minor; there were 3 accused in this case, out of them, 2 were juveniles and on the basis of memorandum statement of one juvenile, the applicant has been arrested. 5. The victim along with her mother has appeared through VC from the concerned DLSA and expressed opinion of no-objection to grant bail. 6. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the over-all facts and circumstances of the case especially the fact that the name of present applicant was not mentioned either in FIR or in section 183 statement of victim nor any TIP was conducted, I am inclined to release the applicant on regular bail. 7. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed and the applicant is directed to be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for his appearance before the said Court as and when directed in that behalf.
