SUGUNA DUBEY Digitally signed by SUGUNA DUBEY Date: 2025.03.24 11:32:06 +0530 2 2. Prosecution case in brief is that a report was lodged by the complainant alleging that the applicant took the photographs of the wife and daughter of the complainant in a vulgar manner and retained the source of video clips (sexually explicit material) being displayed in the electronic form ie. in face book and whasapp. On the basis of the said complaint, the applicant has been arrested. 4. Contention of the counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He further submits that there is no direct evidence against the applicant and the offences as alleged against the applicant are not made out against him. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 4.12.2024, charge sheet has been filed and the trial is likely to take some time, he is ready and willing to comply with any of the conditions which may be imposed upon him and thus, it is submitted that the application be allowed and the applicant be released on bail. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent/State, on the other hand, has opposed the bail application. 6. Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 7. On due consideration of the rival submissions, from the records it prima facie appears that the applicant had committed the offence as alleged against him and therefore looking to the gravity of the offence which is against the society at large, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, his bail application is rejected. Sd/- (Arvind Kumar Verma) Judge
