And 3 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Alka Upadhyay,Kaustubh Tripathi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.,Nirbhay Singh Hon'ble Krishan Pahal,J. 1. List has been revised. 2. Heard Ms. Alka Upadhyay, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Nirbhay Singh, learned counsel for the informant and Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 114 of 2024, under Sections 363, 366, 376 of I.P.C. & Section 3/4 POCSO Act and Section 3(2)5 SC/ST, Police Station Rajawali, 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. The FIR is delayed by about 25 days and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. The prosecution story stands falsified from the fact that victim V2 has categorically stated that she along with her sister was retrieved from Kolhapur, Maharashtra by police while the recovery memo of the victim indicates her recovery from Mathura Railway Station. The victim is the consenting party as is but evident that she has not raised any alarm during the said sojourn from Firozabad to Kolhapur Maharashtra. 5. Several other submissions have been made on behalf of the applicant to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against him. The circumstances which, as per counsel, led to the false implication of the applicant have also been touched upon at length. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 05.06.2024 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. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record, and taking into consideration the settled law of the Supreme Court passed in Satender Kumar Antil vs. Central Bureau of Investigation and Ors., 2022 INSC 690 and Manish Sisodia vs. Directorate of Enforcement, 2024 INSC 595 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 8. Let the applicant- Abhishek Dubey, 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. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified. (i) The applicant shall not tamper with evidence. (ii) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the Trial Court on dates fixed for (1) opening of the case, (2) framing of charge and (3) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. If in the opinion of the Trial Court absence of the applicant is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the Trial Court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of bail and proceed against him in accordance with law. 9. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 10. It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
