Judgment / Order
19/02/2021
Heard learned counsel for the partes and also perused the
material on record.
The petitioner has been arrested in FIR No.144/2020 of
Police Station Bajju District Bikaner for the offences punishable
under Sections 354-G, 376[2][j], 506, 450 IPC and under Sections
3/4, 11/12 of POCSO Act. He has preferred this bail application
under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the
allegation of sexual assault against the petitioner is absolutely
false. It is argued that initially, father of prosecutrix in his
complaint, submitted before the Superintendent of Police on
07.08.2020 has not levelled the allegation of sexual assault and
he simply stated that the petitioner was harassing his daughter by
passing remarks and by constantly calling her on mobile phone,
however, the statements of prosecutrix recorded under Section
(2 of 2) [CRLMB-1426/2021]
161 CrPC wherein, she has falsely alleged that around one month
before, the petitioner had sexually assaulted her and she has also
reiterated the same in her statements recorded under Section 164
CrPC. It is submitted that as a matter of fact, the allegation of
sexual assault levelled against the petitioner is only with the
intention to make serious case against him. It is further submitted
that charge-sheet has been filed and trial of the case will take
time.
Learned Public Prosecutor as well as learned counsel for the
complainant have vehemently opposed the bail application.
Learned counsel for the complainant has submitted that the
prosecutrix is minor, therefore, the petitioner is not entitled to be
enlarged on bail.
Having regard to the totality of the facts and circumstances
of the case, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the
case, I deem it just and proper to grant bail to the accused
petitioner under Section 439 Cr.P.C.
Accordingly, this bail application filed under Section 439
Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is directed that petitioner Baldev @ Bulla
Ram S/o Shri Madan Lal shall be released on bail in connection
with FIR No.144/2020 of Police Station Bajju District Bikaner
provided he executes a personal bond in a sum of Rs.50,000/-
with two sound and solvent sureties of Rs.25,000/- each to the
satisfaction of learned trial court for his appearance before that
court on each and every date of hearing and whenever called upon
to do so till the completion of the trial.
