Case No. 38 of 2025 registered under Section 64(1) of the BNS, pending in the court of learned Judicial Magistrate, Palamau at Daltonganj.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that he has been implicated in this case and from perusal of FIR, it would be evident that there is no injury upon the person of the victim. Both the informant and the petitioner are of the same village and due to village politics, the name of the petitioner has been implicated in this case due to previous enmity. The petitioner is in custody since 10.08.2025.

Therefore, submission has been made that the present petitioner may also be enlarged on bail.

¶18

Learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the opposite party-State has seriously opposed the prayer for grant of bail.

This Court has heard the learned counsel for the parties.

¶20

It is the case of the prosecution that when the informant was doing cultivation work in her field, the petitioner came there and dragged her behind the bush, where he committed rape upon her and when she protested, the petitioner threatened of dire consequences.

¶21

The victim in her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. corresponding to Section 183 BNS, has corroborated the prosecution case.

¶22

This Court, taking into consideration the fact that there is direct allegation of outraging the modest of a woman against the petitioner, which she reiterated in her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C., corresponding to Section 183 BNS is of the view that the present application is not fit to be allowed.

¶23

Accordingly, the instant bail application stands rejected.
