1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.12 of 2019, registered at Police Station - Mahila Thana, Ambikapur, District - Surguja, Chhattisgarh for the offence punishable under Sections 354 and 354(A) of the Indian Penal Code, Sections 9(m)(n) and 10 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012.

2.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is in jail since 25.5.2019 and has been falsely implicated in this case. After completion of investigation, the charge-sheet has been filed. Hence, it is prayed that the applicant be enlarged on bail.

3.

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and the submissions made in this respect. 4.

Heard counsel for both the parties and perused the case diary. 5.

According to the prosecution case, this applicant was outraging the modesty of his minor daughter of age 7 years regarding which, FIR has been lodged.

6.

Considering the fact that the case is now pending for trial before the trial Court and also looking to the delay in conclusion of the trial, I feel inclined to grant bail to the applicant in this case. 7.

Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. is allowed.
