POCSO Act. His earlier bail applications were dismissed as

withdrawn.

It is the submission of learned counsel for the applicant that

false case has been registered against him and he is suffering

confinement since 20-10-2019 and recently material prosecution

witnesses (including prosecutrix) have been examined and

prosecutrix stood to her ground regarding allegations. Now

otherwise, applicant is a boy aged 19 years and a chance be given

his misdeed, if any and to serve National/Environmental/Social

cause. Confinement amounts to pretrial detention. He undertakes

not to be source of embarrassment and harassment to the

complainant party in any manner and would not move in their

vicinity. He further undertakes to abide by all the terms and

conditions of guidelines, circulars and directions issued by

Central Government, State Government as well as Local

Administration regarding measures in respect of COVID-19

Pandemic and maintain hygiene in the vicinity while keeping

physical distancing. Further looking to the situation of pandemic,

he intends to serve the National/Environmental/Social cause

voluntarily, in case bail is granted.

Counsel for the State opposed the prayer and prayed for

dismissal of this bail application.

prayer on the ground that after statement of prosecutrix family

members of applicant threatened brother of prosecutrix, therefore,

complaint has been made at Police Station Bahodapur District
