Judgment text
IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI B. A. No. 9618 of 2020 ------ Badal Kumar @ Badal Munda … Petitioner Versus The State of Jharkhand … Opposite Party ------ CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE ANIL KUMAR CHOUDHARY ------ For the Petitioner : Mr. Md. Zaid Ahmed, Advocate For the State : Mrs. Nehala Sharmin, Addl. P. P. ------ Order No. 02 Dated- 11. 12. 2020 Heard the parties through video conferencing. Learned counsel for the petitioner personally undertakes to remove the defects as pointed out by the stamp reporter within two weeks after the lockdown period is over. In view of the personal undertaking of the learned counsel for the petitioner, the defects pointed out by the stamp reporter are ignored for the present. The petitioner has moved this Court for grant of bail in connection with Patratu P. S. Case No. 316 of 2019 (Special POCSO Case No. 03 of 2020) registered under sections 341/323/354/34 of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 8 of POCSO Act.
The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has outraged the modesty of a minor girl. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 28. 11. 2019 as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 20 of the bail application. It is lastly submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case and also undertakes that he will not annoy or disturb the victim or her family members in any manner nor he will go to or near the house of the victim. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P. P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.
25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Ramgarh, in connection with Patratu P. S. Case No. 316 of 2019 (Special POCSO Case No. 03 of 2020) with the condition that the petitioner will cooperate with the trial of the case with further condition that he will not annoy or disturb the victim or her family members in any manner nor he will go to or near the house of the victim.
