Mr. Vinod Tekam, Panel Lawyer --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hon'ble Shri Justice Goutam Bhaduri Order On Board 01/12/2015 1.

This is the first bail application filed under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure for grant of regular bail to the applicant who has been arrested in connection with Crime No.149/2015 registered at Police Station- Ramanujnagar, District Surajpur (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 354, 354(B) of Indian Penal Code and Section 8 of Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

2.

As per the prosecution case, in brief, on 01.08.2015 the prosecutrix alongwith the applicant went to graze the cattle and when they went towards the forest, at that time, the applicant caught hold of her and dumped her in the earth with an intention to outrage her modesty and when she resisted she was saved by other persons.

3.

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in this case and the charge sheet in this

case has been filed and there is no chance of tampering the evidence, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4.

Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail.

5.

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

6.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of offence and the manner in which the offence is alleged to be committed and taking into fact that the applicant is in jail since 17.08.2015, I am inclined to release the applicant on bail.

7.

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

8.

It is directed that the applicant shall be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- with one surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the concerned trial Court, for his appearance as and when directed. 9.
