Statement of the victim girl is exonerative in nature. However the victim is a minor.

In view of the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, i.e., 6 months, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is thus, allowed.

Let the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs. 10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Learned Judge, Special Court under the POCSO Act, Baruipur, South 24 Parganas subject to the condition that he shall appear before the learned trial court regularly on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to comply with the conditions as enshrined hereinbefore, it is open to the trial court to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court. The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Joymalya Bagchi, J.) (Bivas Pattanayak, J.)
