The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with Nauhatta P.S. Case No. 24 of 2022 (G.R. No. 108 of 2022), lodged under Sections 341, 323, 354(A), 354(B)/34 of the Indian Penal Code read with Sections 67, 67(A), 66(E) of the I.T. Act, 2008.

As per the prosecution case, the allegation of forcibly molesting the victim at the hand of accused persons including the present petitioner is there in the F.I.R. They have also prepared video and made it viral.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.37337 of 2022(2) dt.22-09-2022 2/2 petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that petitioner is in custody since 07.02.2022 and he is having clean antecedent. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Upon query that whether charge has been framed or not, learned counsel for the petitioner submits that charge has already been framed in this case.

In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present, but liberty is hereby granted to the petitioner that he may renew his prayer for bail after one year from the date of passing of this order.

With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
