BAIL APPLICATION No. - 8548 of 2025 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. 1.Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned Additional Government Advocate for the State and perused the record. 2.It is alleged in the prosecution case that sister of the informant aged about 16 years and who is 10th pass has been enticed away by the accused applicant on 21.6.2025 at about 10.00a.m. 3.Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim on her own accord and volition has gone away with the applicant to Lucknow and then to Indore and there they lived together, which is apparent from her statements under sections 180 and 183 BNSS. In her statement under section 183 BNSS, she has not supported the prosecution case. No allegation has been levelled against the applicant. No abnormality has been found in the medico legal examination of the victim. As per educational record, the victim's date of birth is 12.6.2009. The applicant has no previous criminal history. The applicant is in jail since 3.7.2025. It is further submitted that there is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released on bail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 4.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.

5.Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, statement of the victim under sections 180 and 183 BNSS, age of the victim as per school record, lack of corroborative medical evidence and any other material, arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties, the period for which the applicant is in jail and without expressing any opinion on the merit of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.
