Rajesh Bhardwaj, J. - Matter has been taken up through video conferencing via Webex facility in the light of the Pandemic Covid-19 situation and as per instructions.

2. Present petition has been filed under Section 439 Cr.P.C. for grant of regular bail to the petitioner in FIR No.212 dated 23.9.2020 under Sections 323, 34, 342, 365, 376, 511 IPC and Section 6 and 18 of POCSO Act, 2012 (subsequently added Section 376-D IPC and Section 4 of POCSO Act, 2012) registered at Police Station Badli, District Jhajjar. It has been contended by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case as no offence as such has been committed by him. However, a false FIR has been got registered by the mother of the victim. He vehemently contends that after the registration of the FIR, challan was presented, charges were framed and the material witnesses, i.e. the victim and her parents, were examined and out of all three witnesses, no one has supported the case of the prosecution and they have been declared hostile. Learned counsel for the petitioner has drawn my attention to their deposition which are placed on record as Annexures P-2 to P-4.
