Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Standing Counsel for the State.

3.

The petitioner is in custody since 22.10.2019 in connection with Jharsuguda P.S. Case No. 683 of 2019 corresponding to C.T. (Spl.) Case No. 35 of 2019 pending in the court of learned Additional Judge-cum-Special Court under POCSO Act, Jharsuguda for the alleged commission of offence under Section 377 of IPC read with Section 6 of POCSO Act.

4.

Considering the nature of accusations and upon going through the testimony of the victim himself, which clearly supports the prosecution case, I am not inclined to allow the prayer for bail, which is therefore rejected.

5.

The BLAP is accordingly rejected.
