(PER: THE HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE J.M.KHAZI) Petitioner who is arraigned as accused No.3 has filed this petition under Section 482 Bharatiya Nagarika Surksha Sanhita, 2023 (for short 'BNSS') to grant him anticipatory bail in Crime No.126/2024 of respondent Police Station for the offences punishable under Sections of 406, 419, 420 r/w 149 of Indian Penal Code.

2. In support of his petition, petitioner has contended that he has not committed the alleged offences and has been falsely implicated. He is innocent and law abiding citizen. He has not involved in any other criminal case. Though the alleged offences are non bailable, they are not punishable with death or imprisonment for life. The complaint is an after thought cock and bull story created by the complainant. The alleged incident has taken place on 27.06.2024, but complaint is filed on 10.07.2024. The inordinate delay in filing the complaint is not explained.

IN RE: B.K.NAGARAJAPPA

It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner he has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Investigation is complete. Accordingly, he prays for anticipatory bail.

2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits victim was a minor.

3. Learned Advocate for the de-facto complainant also opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail.

4. We have considered the materials on record. Victim was a minor and the petitioner subjected her to sexual assault. However, investigation is complete. Under such circumstances, we are of the opinion custodial interrogation of the accused/petitioner is not necessary and he may be granted anticipatory bail however, subject to strict conditions.
