Home Deptt. Lko. Counsel for Applicant :- Rakesh Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No.461 of 2024, under Sections 74, 115(2), 140(1), 352 of BNS, P.S. Krishna Nagar, District Lucknow. In the prosecution case it is alleged that informant aged about 20 years while she took the auto to reach Kale Krishna Devi Inter College. The auto driver allowed two boys to sit in the auto out of them one is Imran Khan, the applicant, who is neighbour of the victim and other one is unknown. At the instance of the accused persons, auto driver turned the auto and when the victim asked to stop the auto, his mouth was gagged by Dupatta and her phone was snatched and she was beaten by the applicant. Applicant took her forcibly to his room. The auto driver and the other persons ran away. She was beaten inside the room and was molested. Some girl called on the phone number of the applicant and getting a chance she fled.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that he has been falsely implicated in this case. Victim is his neighbour. No allegation of rape has been levelled on the applicant as is evident from the question put by the Investigating Officer with the victim. Medical falsifies the prosecution case as well as the
statement of the victim under Sections 180 & 183 of the BNSS, the incident is of 07.10.2024. The medical has been conducted on 08.10.2024 where no injury has been found and further the victim has denied to give sample. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 10.10.2024 however, he has no criminal antecedents. Charge-sheet in the case has been filed. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 10.10.2024 having no criminal history, statement of the victim is not corroborated by the medical report, charge-sheet in the case has been filed, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Imran Khan be released on bail in aforesaid case crime number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.
