1. The accused/applicant has moved this first bail application under Section 439 of Criminal Procedure Code for releasing him on regular bail during trial in connection with Crime No. 693/2019 registered at Police Station Supela, District Durg (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 363, 366, 376 of I.P.C. and Sections 4, 6 of POCSO Act, 2012.

2. The prosecution story, in brief is that, a report has been lodged by the mother of the prosecutrix stating that the applicant has taken away her daughter on 18.07.2019, thereafter he had committed sexual intercourse with her. Thereafter, offence has been registered against the present applicant.

3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. The applicant is in jail since 17.10.2019, there is no likelihood of his case being decided in near future, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail.

4. On the other hand, counsel for the State opposes the bail

application.

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

6. Taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offence, facts and circumstances of the case, and further considering the facts that the prosecutrix and her mother are present today. They have not supported the prosecution case and turned hostile. The applicant is in jail since 17.10.2019 and the trial is likely to take some time for its final disposal, this Court is of the view that it is a fit case to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the application is allowed.

7. Accused/applicant is directed to be released on bail on his executing a personal bond in the sum of Rs. 25,000/-, with one local surety in the like sum to the satisfaction of the trial Court. He is directed to appear before the trial Court on each and every date given to him by the said Court.
