Learned Counsel Mr. Sankar Lodh is present for the applicant.

Learned Addl. P.P. Mr. Rajib Saha is present along with Forensic Digital Analyst Mr. Bapi Saha. Today Learned Addl. P.P. again produced the CD along with the report of the Forensic Digital Analyst.

The matter is taken up for hearing. In course of hearing the Forensic Digital Analyst explained the contents of the report submitted by him to S.D.P.O., Santirbazar. As per order dated 05.03.2025 the report was supposed to be submitted to the court. However, Learned Addl. P.P. in course of hearing submitted that through bonafide mistake the Director, SFSL submitted the report to the S.D.P.O., Santirbazar. Learned Addl. P.P. further submitted before the court drawing the contents of the FIR and the statement of the victim girl and submitted that although the interim bail was granted to the accused subject to verification of obtaining report about the obscene pictures, but since the report of digital analyst speaks about storage of obscene nude pictures of the victim girl through screen recorder by the accused-applicant. So it appears that he is involved with the alleged offence punishable under Section 14 of POCSO Act read with Section 67 B of IT Act, 2000. So he urged before the court to cancel the pre- arrest bail application of the accused-applicant.
