HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 8470 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record. 2. In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the complainant, living with her maternal grandfather and pursuing studies, was deceived by the applicant, a relative, who promised marriage and established physical relations with her. He also allegedly withdrew money from her scholarship account and took cash on several occasions. The complainant further states that the applicant’s mother Hemlata, sisters Pratima (alias Goldi), Shweta, and Shraddha supported him, and Pratima assured her that marriage would take place, which was also affirmed by the applicant’s uncle Ajeet Kumar. However, on 08.04.2025, the applicant abused, threatened, and ultimately refused to marry the complainant, even blacklisting her mobile number. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has no criminal antecedents. It is submitted that the relationship between the applicant and the victim was consensual and both were majors. The victim voluntarily travelled to Allahabad (Prayagraj), which is evident from her statement recorded under Section 183 BNSS. It is further argued that there is lack of corroborative material in the medical examination. The entire family of the applicant has been falsely implicated, which casts doubt on the prosecution version. The applicant is in custody since 03.08.2025. It is also urged that that there is difference between the breach of promise of marriage Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Vinay Misra, Rakesh Kumar Trivedi Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Anmol Chaudhary @ Sheru .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Addl. Chief Secy. Home U.P. Lko. .....Opposite Party(s) and false promise of marriage. 4. 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. 5. Learned AGA, opposed the prayer for bail, submitting that the investigation is still in progress. 6. Having considered the submissions and taking into account the delay of five years in lodging the FIR, absence of corroborative medical evidence, and the fact that the applicant, without any criminal antecedents, is in custody since 03.08.2025, I am of the opinion that the applicant deserves to be enlarged on bail. 7. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 8.
