1. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 22.06.2026 in connection with Amrapara P.S. Case No. 45/2026 (Special POCSO Case No. 33/2026) for the offence registered under Section 4(1), 6 of POCSO Act, now said to have been pending in the court of learned Special Judge POCSO, Pakur.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and the victim girl was already married and he refers to Annexure-2 of the bail application. He submits that the petitioner is willing to marry her and since she has not yet been divorced, he is not in a position to marry.
3. Learned counsel for the opposite party has opposed the prayer for bail.
4. A report has been received from the learned court that there are six charge-sheet witnesses, charge has been framed on 28.08.2026 and the victim has not yet been examined.

6. In view of the aforesaid facts and circumstances and considering the fact that the victim is yet to be examined before the learned court and there is direct allegation against the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, this bail application is hereby rejected.
7. Let a copy of this order be communicated to the court concerned through ‘e-mail/FAX’.
