...for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Evidence of the minor is exonerative in nature. Her father has also been examined.

Keeping in mind the aforesaid development and the period of detention suffered by the petitioner i.e. two and half years, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner viz., Abhijit Biswas @ Abhijit @ Abhi Biswas shall 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, Ranaghat, Nadia subject to condition that he shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the Trial Court without any justifiable cause, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, thus disposed of. (Ajay Kumar Gupta,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
