ORDER
19.08.2026
02. 1. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner and learned counsel for the State.
2. The Petitioner is seeking pre-arrest bail in connection with G.R. Case No.459 of 2026 pending on the file of learned J.M.F.C., Aali, arising out of Rajkanika P.S No.284 of 2026 for commission of offences punishable under Section 137(2) of the BNS, 2023.
3. On perusal of the Case Diary up to 04.07.2026 submits that there is no allegation under the POCSO Act.
4. Taking note of the same, since the offence as alleged is ex facie bailable, the ABLAPL is disposed of as not maintainable, giving liberty to the Petitioner to
renew his prayer in the event of implication for commission of any non-bailable offence.
