(Order on Correction/Amendment Application) This is the application for correction/amendment in the memo of bail application. On due consideration of the averments made in the affidavit filed in support of the application for correction/amendment, the application for correction/amendment is allowed. Accordingly, learned counsel for the applicant is permitted to carry out necesary correction/amendment in the memo of bail application during course of the day. (Order on Bail Application) Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. According to the ossification test conducted by the Chief Medical Officer, Gonda, the age of the victim is estimated to be between 18-19 years. The victim, in her statements recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of the BNSS, has not supported the prosecution case. The applicant has explained his criminal antecedent of one case. It is further submitted that there is no likelihood of the applicant
absconding or tampering with the prosecution witnesses if he is released on bail. The applicant undertakes not to misuse the liberty of bail, if granted. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail application and has submitted that the victim is pregnant. On due consideration to the victim’s statements recorded under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, the ossification test report indicating the victim’s age to be 18–19 years, the fact that the applicant is in custody since 04.04.2025, and he has explained his criminal antecedent of one case, and without commenting on the merits of the case, I am of the view that this is a fit case for granting bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant Ranjeet @ Ram Narayan involved in Case Crime No. 54/2025, under Sections 363/366/376AB IPC and Section 5(j)(ii),(I),(m)/6 POCSO Act, Police Station - Kotwali Nagar, District - Bahraich, 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.

In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code.
