As names of Sri Rajesh Kumar and Sri Suhail Kashif are shown as counsel for the complainant but no one is present, therefore, the appeal is deciding with the assistance of learned counsel for the appellant and learned AGA for the State-respondents. 4. Heard learned counsel for the appellant, learned A.G.A. for the State-respondents and perused the record. 5. The present appeal has been filed for setting aside the impugned order dated 6.12.2024 passed by Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Barabanki in Bail Application No. 3772/2024 arising out of Case Crime No. 414/2024 under Sections 64(2)(m), 316(2), 352 of BNS and Section 3(1)da, 3(1)dha, 3(2)(v) of SC/ST Act, Police Station- Tikaitnagar, District- Barabanki. 6. Learned counsel for the appellant submits that the appellant has been falsely implicated in the present case as he was working with the husband of the complainant in UAE. He further submits that in an accident her husband died and thereafter body of her husband was brought to India for cremation and the appellant, who has provided best help to the complainant as she was having two daughters and thereafter she started insisting him for marriage but the appellant denied as his marriage is already solemnized in the year 2023. Later on, on the basis of incorrect facts, FIR in case of question was lodged implicating all the family members of the appellant. He further submits that her statements under Section 180 and 183 of BNS were recorded and there is a major contradiction in her statements. He next submits that there is no evidence of abortion was provided by the complainant to the investigating officer. He also submits that the appellant was taken into custody on 6.10.2024, charge sheet has already been filed and the trial is not going on, all these aspects were not considered by the court below and rejected the bail application, therefore, kind indulgence of this Court is necessary. 7. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the prayer of appellant but he does not dispute this fact that there is contradiction in the statements of victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of BNS. 6. Considering the submissions of learned counsel for the parties, going through the contents of impugned order as well as FIR and other relevant material and contradiction in the statements of the victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of BNS, this Court is of the view that learned trial court is failed to consider the aforesaid aspects, hence, the aforesaid impugned order is liable to be set aside and appellant is entitled to be released on bail. 7. Resultantly, in the above facts and circumstances of the case, the trial of the case is not likely to be concluded in near future, hence, the present appeal has substance, and it is accordingly allowed, and the impugned order dated 6.12.2024 passed by Special Judge, SC/ST Act, Barabanki in Bail Application No. 3772/2024 arising out of Case Crime No. 414/2024 under Sections 64(2)(m), 316(2), 352 of BNS and Section 3(1)da, 3(1)dha, 3(2)(v) of SC/ST Act, Police Station- Tikaitnagar, District- Barabanki is hereby set aside. 9.
