6. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. There is dispute between the parties over pathway and for this reason, the petitioner has falsely been implicated in this case. Though there is allegation of sexual assault upon the daughter of the informant, but the allegation is not supported by any corroborative evidence. The petitioner is in custody since 23.11.2025 and is having clean antecedent. The charge sheet has been submitted.

7. Learned A.P.P. appearing for the State opposes the submission made on behalf of the petitioner. The learned APP submits that there is specific allegation against the petitioner for making an attempt for committing rape with the daughter of the informant.

Having regard to the fact and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties and considering the period of custody of the petitioner and his clean antecedent as well as submission of charge sheet against him, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each with two sureties
