JUSTICE AMBUJ NATH -------- For the Petitioner(s) : Mr. Danish Shahbaz, Advocate Mr. Shadab Eqbal, Advocate Md. Farhan Kibriya, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Ruby Pandey, A. P. P. -------- 04/ Dated 10. 12. 2024 Heard the parties. The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Mahila P. S. Case No. 47 of 2024, corresponding to POCSO Case No. 106 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 376(2)(n), 354(c) & 506 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 4/8 of POCSO Act, pending in the court of Sri Asif Equbal, learned AJC-IV-cum-Special Judge, POCSO Act, Ranchi.
Petitioner is alleged to have established consensual physical relationship with the victim on the pretext of marriage. Later on, their marriage could not be solemnized because the parents of the petitioner demanded Rupees Five Lakhs as dowry. It was submitted that there is nothing on record to show that the petitioner at the very inception of their relationship had obtained consent for physical relationship by fraud. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of Sri Asif Equbal, learned AJC-IV-cum- Special Judge, POCSO Act, Ranchi, in connection with Mahila P. S. Case No. 47 of 2024, corresponding to POCSO Case No. 106 of 2024. (Ambuj Nath, J. ) BS/-
