Heard Sri Rohit Nandan Pandey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri V.K.S. Parmar, learned A.G.A. for the State and also perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 571 of 2024, under Sections 64 & 75 of BNS, Police Station - Shikohabad, District - Firozabad, during the pendency of trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence as alleged in the FIR. Learned counsel has also stated that the victim is a married lady and she is 42 years old. 5. Learned counsel has further stated that the FIR was instituted regarding sexual harassment only but subsequently the allegations of rape have been made with regard to the incident occurred on 6 to 7 months back. There is no medical corroboration of the incident. There is no criminal history of the applicant. It is true that the applicant and the victim were having cordial relationship. The applicant is languishing in jail since 24.09.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Per contra, learned AGA has vehemently opposed the bail application but unable to dispute the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant and also the fact that the applicant has no criminal history. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the age of the victim and her marital status and also considering the fact that the allegations of rape have been made subsequently connecting to the incident occurred before 6 to 7 months and also there being no medical corroboration of the incident, I find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant- Farhan, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions.
