                                       ORAL ORDER

4   18-05-2026                  Heard learned counsel for the petitioner, learned APP

                   for the State and learned counsel for the informant.

                                2. The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                   Spl. (POCSO) Case No. 297/2025, arising out of Amour P.S.

                   Case No. 399 of 2025, registered under Sections 126(2), 115(2),

                   64, 352, 351(2)/3(5) of the BNS Act, 2023 and section 6 of the

                   Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.

                                3. As per prosecution case, the allegation is that a boy

                   of 20 years raped the daughter of the informant. The medical

                   report only shows that the girl was used to sexual intercourse

                   and her certificate would show that she was minor. The girl in

                   her statement recorded under Section 183 of BNSS shows that

                                            2/3




          she was in love relationship with the boy but she also alleges

          that one particular day he raped her. A Panchayat was also held

          where marriage was proposed but the accused side did not agree

          to the same.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

          petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the

          present case. Petitioner has clean antecedent and he is in

          custody since 15.09.2025.

                       5. Learned APP and counsel for O.P. No.2 have

          vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

                       6. Considering the age of petitioner, absence of

          criminal antecedent as well as hint of a relationship and period

          of custody, this bail application is allowed.

                       7. Accordingly, let the petitioner above named, be

          granted bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees

          Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each

          to the satisfaction of learned ADJ 7 th -cum- Special Judge

          (POCSO), Purnea/concerned court below in connection with

          Spl. (POCSO) Case No. 297/2025, arising out of Amour P.S.

          Case No. 399 of 2025.

                       8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is

          prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of

                     adjudication of the present bail application. Such observations

                     shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case
