JUDGMENT

Manoj Kumar Garg, J. - The present bail application has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. The petitioner has been arrested in connection with FIR No.219/2022, Police Station Shri Vijay Nagar, District Sriganganagar for the offences punishable under Sections 452 & 376-D of IPC and Sections 3, 4, 9G & 10 of POCSO Amendment Act 2012, 2019 and Sections 3(1)(W)(i) & 3(2)(V) of the SC/ST Act, 1989.

2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that challan of the case has already been presented and no investigation is pending against the petitioner. A compromise has already been arrived between the parties. The petitioner is in the judicial custody and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time. Therefore, the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-petitioner.

3. Learned Public Prosecutor has opposed the bail application. Learned counsel for the complainant concurs the fact of compromise.

4. I have considered the arguments advanced before me and gone through the material available on record.

5. Taking into account the facts and circumstances of the case, without commenting on the merits of the case, this Court deems it just and proper to release the petitioner on bail.

6. Accordingly, the bail application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. is allowed and it is ordered that the accused-petitioner - Ranjeet Kumar @ Motu S/o Bhagwan Das, shall be enlarged on bail in FIR No.219/2022, Police Station Shri Vijay Nagar, District Sriganganagar provided he furnishes a personal bond in the sum of Rs.1,00,000/- with two sureties of Rs.50,000/- each to the satisfaction of the learned trial Judge for his appearance before the court concerned on all the dates of hearing as and when called upon to do so.
