For the Petitioner/s :

Mr. N.K. Agrawal, Sr. Advocate For the Opposite Party/s :

Mr. Pradeep Narain Kumar, APP ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA ORAL ORDER 21-06-2023 Heard Mr. N.K. Agrawal, learned senior counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to remove the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, if any, within a period of four weeks from today.

Petitioner seeks bail who is in custody since 24.04.2022 in connection with Kasba P.S. Case No. 113 of 2022 (Special POCSO Case No. 70 of 2022, CIS 70/22), F.I.R. dated 19.04.2022 for the offences punishable under Sections 363, 366(A) of the Indian Penal Code.

According to prosecution case, all the accused persons including the petitioner have enticed away the daughter of the informant when they all went for to sleep.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.71835 of 2022(5) dt.21-06-2023 2/2 petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. He further submits that the allegation as alleged in the F.I.R. is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offences as alleged in the F.I.R.

Vide order dated 08.05.2023 a report was called with regard to the present stage of trial. Report of the learned Trial Court dated 01.06.2023 reveals that all the charge sheet witnesses have already been examined and the statement of the accused under Section 313 Cr.P.C. has already been completed. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Considering the report of the learned Trial Court, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with Kasba P.S. Case No. 113 of 2022 (Special POCSO Case No. 70 of 2022, CIS 70/22) pending in the court of learned Special Judge, POCSO-cum-Additional District Judge-VI, Purnia. Prayer is refused.

However, the learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial at the earliest. (Rajesh Kumar Verma, J) Vanisha/- U T
