HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 955 of 2025 Court No. - 12 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. None appears for the complainant although notices are served. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No.167 of 2024, under Sections 363, 366, 376(D), 342 of I.P.C. and Sections 3/4 of POCSO Act, P.S. Makhi, District Unnao. In the prosecution case it is alleged that minor daughter of the informant aged about 16 years on the pretext of going to the shop went with someone on 03.06.2024 at about 12:30 while going away she has taken Rs.15,000/-, jhumki and tub. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that applicant is not named in the F.I.R. The victim was having affair with the co-accused Pankaj. He submits that victim in her statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. has not taken the name of the applicant. However, while giving statement under section 164 CrPC, the victim has made allegation of committing rape against the applicant and another co-accused Suraj who has been granted bail by this court vide order dated 21.8.2025 passed in Bail No.10937 of 2024. No injury has been found on the internal and external examination of the victim in the medico legal examination. The applicant is in jail since 13.7.2024.

And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer but he could not dispute the fact that it is a case of parity. Perused the record. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 13.7.2024, having no criminal history, improvement made in the prosecution case at every stage, victim has been examined, there appears to be no chance of tampering the evidence, the co-accused named above has been granted bail, and 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.
