HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 5977 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 1/2.4.2025 in the night, while all the persons were sleeping, the accused Salla enticed away the minor daughter of the informant aged about 14 years. While going away, the victim took Rs. 20,000/- cash along with her. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent. The victim in her statement under Section 180 BNSS has not levelled any allegation against the applicant. She while giving her statement under Section 183 BNSS has made the allegation of rape against the applicant for the first time. While giving her statement before the trial court, the victim has not supported the prosecution case and has been declared hostile. Moreover, there is lack of corroborative medical evidence. It is further submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 21.4.2025. 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 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. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Manoj Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Salla @ Sufiyan .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Home Lko. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the statements of the victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS so also the fact that as per the radiological examination, the victim has been stated to be 16-17 years old; the victim has been examined before the trial court and she has been declared hostile; 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 21.4.2025 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.
Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. Let the applicant- Salla @ Sufiyan involved in Case Crime No. 207 of 2025, under Sections 137(2), 64(2)(m) of B.N.S. & Section 5(l)/6 of POCSO Act, Police Station- Motipur, 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 default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law.
