appeared .

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has not committed any offence. He further submits that age of the informant is 25 years and the petitioner is about 22 years old. He further submits that the incident is of the year 2019 and the FIR was lodged in the year 2022. He further submits that from the allegation it is clear that it is a case of consensual relationship between the parties. Petitioner is in custody since 04.01.2022. Therefore, he may be released on bail.

¶8

Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail and submits that it is a case of sexual exploitation by the petitioner. Therefore, he does not deserve bail.

¶9

Having heard both counsels, gone through the records of the case and in the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the petitioner, named above, on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/(Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate, 1^st Class, Ranchi, in connection with Tatisilwai PS Case No. 01 of 2022, subject to the condition that the petitioner shall attend the trial regularly and he shall report to the concerned police station on every last Saturday of the month, between 01:00 and 05:00 p.m. for one year, failing which or if any adverse remarks regarding his non- appearance at the police station, his bail-bond shall be liable to be cancelled.
