N. Tamuli, learned counsel for the petitioner Rakibuddin Ahmed who has filed this application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 with prayer for bail as he is behind bars since 10.11.2025 in connection with Titabar Police Station Case No. 174/2025 under Sections 64(i)/87/46/58/61(2)/103(i)/238 of the BNS, 2023 R/W Section 6 of the POCSO Act. 2. Heard Mr. K. K. Das, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the respondent State and learned Amicus Curiae Ms. T. Parashar for the respondent No. 2. 3. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is not involved in POCSO case. Charges were framed against him under Sections 61(2)/88 R/W 62 of the BNS. It is submitted that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial. The petitioner has prayed for bail on the ground of parity as the co-accused had already been enlarged on bail. 4. The prayer for bail is also made as investigation is complete and his detention may not be required. 5. Serious objections have been raised from the respondent’s side stating that that this is a case involving a heinous offence of eliminating a minor and concealing her body inside a septic tank. There are incriminating materials in the Case Diary against the petitioner that he was involved in an attempt in abetting the main accused in forceful abortion of the minor victim. 6. A prima facie case was found against him and charges were framed against him. 7. I have considered the submissions at the Bar with circumspection. I have considered the submission that charges have been framed against him and the petitioner is willing to co-operate with the trial. 8. I have also scrutinized the Case Diary as well as the Trial court Records. Page No.# 3/3 9. The petitioner is a local resident and he is willing to co-operate with the trial. 10. It appears that bail may be granted to the petitioner. 11. Considering all aspects, petition is allowed. The petitioner shall be enlarged on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees Fifty Thousand) with a suitable surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court under the conditions that: (i) The petitioner shall co-operate with the trial, (ii) The petitioner shall not tamper with the evidence, (iii) The petitioner shall not exercise threats to the witnesses, and (iv) The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of the Court without prior permission. 12. On breach of any of the bail conditions, the Court is at liberty to cancel the bail granted to the petitioners. 13. In terms of the above observation, this bail application stands disposed of.
