Deptt. Of Home Lko And 3 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Yogesh Kumar Mishra,Shraddha Chaturvedi Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and Shri Dharmendra Kumar Yadav, Advocate who has filed vakalatnama along with counter affidavit on behalf of the complainant, which is taken on record. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that on 6.7.2024 at about 08.00 pm, the daughter of the informant aged about 16 years has been enticed away by the applicant. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim is major, as per her admission and statement under Section 180 BNSS. As per her statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, she along with the applicant went to Punjab of her own free will and lived together for several days. Both of them have married in the temple. He next submits that in the radiology report, the victim is stated to be 18 years old. She has refused to undergo medico legal examination. Thus, no case against the applicant is made out. It is further submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 2.4.2025. 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. as well as learned counsel for the complainant have opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the statements of the victim under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, radiology report so also the fact that the victim has refused to undergo medico legal examination; the applicant has no criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 2.4.2025 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. Let the applicant- Vijay Kumar @ Mithun involved in Case Crime No. 210 of 2024, under Sections 137(2), 87, 65(1) of B.N.S. & Section 5L/6 of POCSO Act, Police Station- Jagdishpur, District- Amethi, 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.
