ORDER
Date : 31.08.2026 Heard Mr. D. Medhi, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. K. Baishya, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor, Assam, appearing for the State respondent No.
1. Also heard Mr. Masum Alam, learned counsel for the respondent No. 2. This is an application under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023 for granting regular bail to the petitioner, namely, Amrik Roy, who was arrested on 15.07.2026 in connection with Laluk P.S. Case No. 139/2026, registered under Sections 332(b)/ 64(1) of the BNS, 2023, read with Section 4 of the POCSO Act, 2012. The allegation as per the F.I.R. is that the petitioner, who had love affair with the victim, who is aged about 17 years 2 months had established physical relationship with her during the absence of the informant. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the alleged act is consensual in nature arising out of the adolescent love and the petitioner has been behind the bars for 46 days as of today. The learned counsel for the informant submits similarly and stated that the informant has no objection to enlarge the petitioner on bail as the petitioner has just attained the age of majority. On perusal of the statement of the victim, there appears to be substance in the submission of the learned counsel with regard to the above. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and considering the period of detention, the prayer for bail is allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner named above be released on bail on furnishing a bail bond of 50,000/- with two sureties of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned concerned Elaka Magistrate, subject to the conditions that the petitioner shall participate the trial of the case as and when one commences, and he shall not attempt to influence or intimidate any persons or witnesses acquainted with the facts of the case, in any manner.
The bail application is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
