Hon'ble Shri Justice Sanjay K. Agrawal Order On Board 09/03/2016

1. The accused/applicant has moved this bail application under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No.23/2016, registered at Police Station Masturi, Distt. Bilaspur, for the offence punishable under Sections 354 of the IPC and 8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.

2. Case of the prosecution, in brief, is that on 13-1-2016, the applicant outraged the modesty of minor complainant and thereby committed the offence.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has not committed any offence and he has been falsely implicated in the case. Charge-sheet is yet to be filed and the applicant is in jail since 13-1-2016.

4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the application.

5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

6. Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence, facts and circumstances of the case, relationship between the parties and pretrial detention of the applicant, I am of the view that it is a fit case to enlarge the applicant on regular bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed.

7. It is, therefore, directed that the applicant be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond in the sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned Court for his appearance as and when directed.
