                                       ORAL ORDER

8   04-05-2026                     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 363, 366A,

                   504, 376 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4 and 8

                   of the POCSO Act.

                                3. The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner

                   along with others has kidnapped the minor daughter of the

                   informant.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Learned

                   counsel for the petitioner has submitted that during course of

                                            2/3




          investigation, the victim has given her statement recorded under

          Sections 161 and 164 of the Cr.P.C. wherein she has stated that

          she was taken away by the petitioner and others and she was

          forcibly married and also, she was subjected to sexual

          intercourse. From perusal of the statement of the victim, it

          transpires that it is not clear as to with whom, she was married.

          Only role attributed to this petitioner is that he along with others

          has taken away the minor daughter of the informant. From

          perusal of the medical examination report also, the doctor has

          not found any sexual assault on the person of the victim. A

          statement has been made in para-3 of this petition that the

          petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. Moreover, he is

          languishing in judicial custody since 26.09.2025.

                       5. Learned APP appearing for the State has

          vehemently opposed the prayer of regular 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 released on bail in connection with

          Dalsinghsarai P.S. Case No. 98 of 2023 on furnishing bail bond

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

          amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions
