Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the appellants and learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 2. This criminal appeal has been filed by the learned counsel for the appellant under Section 14-A (2) of the Scheduled Castes & Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 for setting aside the impugned order dated 12.11.2024 passed by Special Judge, SC/ST (P.A.) Act, Prayagraj in Bail Application No. 5176 of 2024, arising out of Case Crime No. 151 of 2024, under Sections 366, 376(1) IPC and Section 3(2)V SC/St Act, P.S. Kheeri, District Prayagraj. 3. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant-applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is contended by learned counsel for the appellant-applicant that as per statement of victim under Section 183 Cr.P.C. she appears to be consenting in view of the fact that she has stated that she fell in love with applicant and also went with the applicant as per her own volition. It is further submitted that appellant is in jail since 23.08.2024 and has no criminal history. 4. On the other hand, learned AGA has opposed the prayer for bail, but could not dispute the said fact. 5. I have considered the rival submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the entire record including the impugned order carefully. 6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, the Court is of the opinion that the appellant has made out a case for bail. The Court below erred in rejecting the bail application. The impugned order suffers from infirmity and illegality and the same is liable to be set-aside and the appeal is liable to be allowed. 7. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed and the impugned order rejecting the bail application of the appellant is set-aside. 8.
