HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 1625 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. Despite the notice having been served, none appears for the complainant. Supplementary affidavit filed today is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 19.11.2024, while the informant went away from home, the victim was alone at home. In the night at around 11.00 pm, the applicant came inside the house and molested her. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent. The victim in her statement under Section 180 BNSS has made an allegation of molestation against the applicant. While giving her statement under Section 183 BNSS, for the first time an allegation of rape has been made against the applicant. He submits that there is lack of corroborative medical evidence. The victim has been examined before the trial court as PW-1, but she herself has not supported the prosecution case during cross. It is further submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 9.12.2024. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Shobh Nath Yadav, Smriti, Surendra Kumar Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Shivam .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home Lko. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s) bail. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the improvement made by the victim in her statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS so also the fact that there is lack of corroborative medical evidence; the PW-1 i.e., the victim herself has not supported the prosecution case during cross examination; there appears to be no chance of tampering the prosecution evidence coupled with the fact that the applicant has no criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 9.12.2024 and without expressing any opinion on the 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- Shivam involved in Case Crime No. 242 of 2024, under Sections 333, 74, 352, 351(2), 64 of B.N.S. & Section 3/4 of POCSO Act, Police Station- Sohramau, District- Unnao, 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 with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:- (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.
