                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE SATYAVRAT VERMA
                                       ORAL ORDER

6   01-07-2026               1.    Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and

                   learned A.P.P. for the State.

                             2.    The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offences punishable under Section 76 of the

                   Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Sections 8 and 12 of the POCSO Act,

                   and Sections 3(2)(v)(a) of SC/ST Act.

                             3.    Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   notices were issued on 22-1-2026, thereafter again on 10-3-

                   2026, but the notice was not received by the informant as such

                   by order dated 22-4-2026, the petitioner was directed to make

                   paper publication. It is further submitted that despite paper

                   publication, the informant chooses not to appear and contest.

                   4.     Learned counsel for the petitioner next submits that

          petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and the informant

          alleges that her minor daughter aged about 12 years had gone to

          attend the nature’s call at 7 PM, when she was intercepted by

          the petitioner, Mantosh and Himanshu, who took her to a field

          and tried to commit wrong, but on alarm, accused fled.

                   5.     Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

          informant. It is next submitted that it does not appear probable

          that had three persons tried to commit wrong with the minor

          daughter of the informant, in that event, she would have been in

          a position to raise alarm. It is thus submitted that this perhaps

          explains why informant despite valid service of notice chooses

          not to appear and contest.

                   6.     Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail of the petitioner.

                   7.     Considering the submissions made by the learned

          counsel for the petitioner, the petitioner above-named, in the

          event of his arrest or surrender within a period of six weeks

          from today, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail

          bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand) with two sureties

          of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned trial

                        with Gaurichak P.S. Case No. 69 of 2025, subject to the

                        conditions as laid down under Section 482 (2) of the BNSS.
