Order :

1. This application for bail under Section 483 BNSS has been filed by the petitioners who have been arrested in connection with F.I.R. No.96/2024 registered at Police Station Khinwsar, District Nagaur for the offences under Sections 376(3), 376-D of IPC and Section 16/17 of POCSO Act.

2. Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned Public Prosecutor. Perused the material available on record.

3. Drawing attention of the Court towards the statements of the victim ‘R’ recorded before the competent criminal Court, learned counsel for the petitioners submitted that the victim ‘R’ during her Court statements has not supported the prosecution story and has turned hostile. It was submitted that since the victim ‘R’ during her Court statements has not supported the prosecution story and has turned hostile, the chance of the petitioners getting convicted in present case is very bleak.

4. Lastly, learned counsel submitted that the petitioners are in judicial custody and the trial of the case will take sufficiently long time, therefore, the benefit of bail may be granted to the accused-petitioners.

5. Per contra, learned Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the bail application
