Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State. No one has appeared on behalf of the complainant, although, as per the instructions of the learned A.G.A., notice has been duly served upon the complainant. As per the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 17.05.2025 at around 3:00 p.m., while the informant’s 17-year-old daughter was at home, the applicant allegedly dragged her by holding her hand. When she resisted, he is said to have assaulted her and threatened to kill her if she disclosed the incident to anyone. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated due to ulterior motives. It is further submitted that the alleged incident never took place and the prosecution version is completely false, fabricated, and lacking in specific details. The applicant is in custody since 19.05.2025 and has no previous criminal record. It is further submitted that 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. opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. Upon due consideration of the fact that the victim’s statements recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of the BNSS reflects improvements; the version in the FIR is not corroborated by the medical report; the charge sheet has already been filed and the applicant is in jail since 19.05.2025 with no prior criminal antecedents, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.

(v) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him in accordance with law.
