As per the prosecution case, on 19.09.2025 the complainant lodged a report that co-accused Vicky Vishwakarma had allured and taken away her minor daughter to his house where he committed forcible sexual intercourse with the victim. The allegation against the present applicants are that being parents of main accused assisted him in committing the offence. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the main allegation is against co-accused Vicky Vishwakarma and the present applicants being father and mother have been falsely implicated. He next submits that it is clear from the victim’s court statement that she was major and no incident was caused by the main accused Vishwakarma therefore she does not want to take any action against them thereby the entire prosecution case has been denied by her. He submits that the applicants are in jail since 12.11.2025 and till date out of a total 25 witnesses, only the victim has been examined and there is no immediate possibility of disposal of case, therefore, the applicants may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the applicant was minor and she belonged to Special Caste. 5. The victim along with her mother has appeared through VC from the concerned DLSA and raised objection to grant bail. 6. Having considered the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and further looking to the court statement of the victim as also the fact that the trial is likely to take time, without observing anything on the merits of the case I am inclined to release the applicant on regular bail. 3 7. Accordingly, this bail application is allowed and the applicants are directed to be released on bail on their furnishing a personal bond in sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety each in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court for their appearance before the said Court as and when directed in that behalf.
