for grant of regular bail in connection with Argora P.S. Case No.177 of 2023,
corresponding to POCSO Case No.86 of 2023, registered for the offence under Section

learned Addl. Judicial Commissioner-IV-cum-Spl. Judge, POCSO, Ranchi.
3. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete
set of F.I.R. alongwith its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and
there is no suppression on his/her part.
4. Innocence has been claimed and undertaking has been given for
participation in the trial. It has been submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that
both were good friends and there was long relationship between them. It has been
further submitted that the victim girl is around the age of 18 years. On above basis
prayer for bail has been made.
5. Learned A.P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant.
6. From perusal of record, it appears that the charge has been framed on
10.08.2023 but till date not a single witness has been examined.

I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant, named
above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Ten
thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned
Addl. Judicial Commissioner-IV-cum-Spl. Judge, POCSO, Ranchi in connection with
