CRMA S No. 52/2026 – Case Summary Case: Criminal Miscellaneous Application 52/2026 Petitioner: Bharatbhai Amrutbhai Rathod Respondent: State of Gujarat Court Decision The Gujarat High Court granted regular bail to the petitioner Bharatbhai Amrutbhai Rathod under Indian Penal Code Sections 64(2), 137(2), 87, 351(3), and POCSO Act Sections 3(1)(p), 3(1)(p)(r), 3(2)(p-a), with strict conditions including a bail bond of Rs. 25,000, surrender of passport, regular court attendance, and restrictions on contacting the victim or witnesses. The court found that while the charges are serious—involving kidnapping and sexual assault of a minor—the investigation was substantially complete and the petitioner's earlier acquaintance with the victim supported granting bail under prescribed safeguards.
