08.06.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 1432 of 2022 sl no. 54 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Harirampur PS case no. 297/2021 dated 30.12.2021 under section 4 of the POCSO Act subsequently charge sheet submitted under section 4 of the POCSO Act read with sections 66(D)/67/67B of the Information Technology Act And In Re : Jakir Hossain ........ petitioner Mr. Bitasok Banerjee ...... for the petitioner Mr. Arijit Ganguly Ms. Monisha Sharma ...... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is delay in lodging FIR. He has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the minor victim was raped by the petitioner and her objectionable pictures were uploaded on a social networking site. Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged offence and bearing in mind the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioners at this stage.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
