                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ASHOK KUMAR PANDEY
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   12-05-2026                   Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                 2. The petitioner has prayed for regular bail in a case

                   registered for the offence punishable under Sections 137(2), 96,

                   3(5) of the B.N.S. and Section 8 of POCSO Act.

                                 3. The case of the prosecution, in short, is that while the

                   younger sister of the informant aged about 16 years has gone to

                   ease herself, Arun Patel and his younger brother forcefully took

                   away the minor sister of the informant on a bike. In later part, it is

                   alleged that petitioner is also having role in the occurrence.

                                 4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner

                   has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no

                   offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. Learned
           Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.31520 of 2026(2) dt.12-05-2026
                                                         2/2




                     counsel for the petitioner has submitted that from perusal of the

                     FIR, it is clear that the main thrust of allegation is against Arun

                     Patel and his younger brother. Only suspicion is that the petitioner

                     is also having role. Petitioner is not the family member of Arun

                     Patel rather he is his friend. Petitioner is having no criminal

                     antecedent      and     he     is    languishing     in   judicial   custody

                     since17.11.2025.

                                  5. Learned APP appearing for the State has vehemently

                     opposed the application for bail.

                                  6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and

                     considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is

                     inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The above named

                     petitioner is directed to be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond

                     of Rs. 10,000/- (Rs. ten thousand only) with two sureties of the

                     like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned 7 th District and

                     Additional Sessions Judge-Cum-Special Judge, POCSO Act, East

                     Champaran, Motihari, Bihar in connection with Jai Bajarang P.S.

                     Case No. 73 of 2025.
