And In Re : Bankim Roy Mr. Joydeep Kanta Bhowmik Mr. Shubham Kumar Jasmine Hque Ms. Priti Das ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Ujjwal Luksom Mr. Dhiman Sil ... For the State Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for about 99 days and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated due to previous enmity with the family of the victim.

Learned counsels for the State and the victim oppose the prayer.

I have considered the material on record. Though the medical report of the victim corroborates the allegations, the

victim has not implicated the petitioner in her statement under Section 183 of the BNSS. Whether medical report has any nexus with the alleged incident or the petitioner shall be determined at the appropriate stage of trial. Charge sheet has been submitted. Further detention of the petitioner is not required. He may be released on bail.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Bankim Roy shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge, (POCSO), 2nd Court, Jalpaiguri subject to condition that he shall remain outside the jurisdiction of Maynaguri police station and shall furnish the address where he shall presently reside before the learned trial Court, the investigating officer and the concerned officer in charge of the police station under whose jurisdiction he shall henceforth reside. He shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to adhere to any of the conditions stated hereinabove, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

CRM (M) 35 of 2026 is disposed of.
