¶7

In view of the proposed order notice to opposite party no. 2 is hereby dispensed with.

¶8

At the very outset learned counsel for the petitioners has stated that all accused persons in Case Crime No. 253 of 2023 u/s 354, 323, 504, 506 I.P.C. and section 7/8 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, P.S. Chhapiya, District Gonda, are ready to surrender before the court concerned to apply the bail but it may be directed that their bail applications may be decided with expedition in the light of the dictum of Apex Court in re: Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation and another reported in 2021 SCC Online SC 922 .

¶9

Learned AGA has submitted that this is a case wherein besides other sections, section 7/8 of POCSO Act is involved, therefore, notice to victim should be issued but if this Court is considering the limited prayer of the petitioner to the extent that bail of the petitioners / applicants be disposed of with expedition, he has no objection.

¶10

Having considered the arguments of learned counsel for the parties and considering the material available on record and the innocuous prayer of the learned counsel for the petitioners and without entering into the merits of the issue, I hereby dispose of this petition finally at the admission stage giving liberty to the petitioners to surrender before the court concerned by filing bail application within a period of 15 days and if the petitioners surrender and move bail application, the learned court concerned shall decide the same applications expeditiously in the light of the dictum of Apex Court in re : Satender Kumar Antil (supra) .
