in the eatery in which he works and he committed the misdeed against her. He wanted to take her to Mumbai but he made a phone call to her sister and she took her back home. 5. The medico legal examination report of the victim was conducted on 22.01.2025 and no mark of injury or sign of use of force was found during her medico legal examination. The table mentioned in the format of medico legal examination report for filling up the details regarding sexual violence, all the entries have been ticked as D&K (don't know), from which it appears that the victim did not state anything about any sexual violence committed against her. 6. The pathological examination report is negative for presence of spermatozoa and as per the radiological examination report the age of the victim has been opined to be between 17-18 years. 7.
In the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 BNSS although she stated that the applicant had committed the misdeed against her, upon being asked to explain the meaning of misdeed she did not give any reply. 8. In the affidavit filed in support of bail application it has been stated that the applicant is a young man aged 24 years, he is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case and he has no criminal history. 9. The learned Additional Government Advocate appearing on behalf of the State has opposed the prayer for bail but and she has submitted that the allegations have been established during investigation and a charge sheet has been submitted on
08.03.2025. She stated that the information of the present bail application has been delivered to the informant through police. 10. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the victim did not give any information of commission of any misdeed committed by the applicant to the doctor during her medico legal examination and the victim did not specify as to what misdeed was committed by the applicant when she was asked to explain it; that the applicant is a young man having no previous criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 03.02.2025 and the investigation already stands concluded and without making any observation, which may affect the merits of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 11. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 12.
