Of Home Lko. And 3 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Bhanu Pratap Kushwaha,Mohammad Salman Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Karunesh Singh Pawar,J. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State as well as perused the record. None appears for the complainant although notices are served. The present bail application has been filed by accused-applicant seeking bail in Case Crime No.344 of 2024, under Sections 65(1) BNS and Section 3/4 of the POCSO Act, P.S. Khairabad, District Sitapur. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that statement of the victim under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS are contradictory, improvement has been made while giving statement under Sections 183 BNSS. Victim has refused to undergo medical examination. Applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. The victim is major aged about 18-19 years as per the ossification test conducted by the Chief Medical Officer, Sitapur. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant has no criminal history, improvement made by the victim in her statement and has further denied to undergo medical examination, without expressing any opinion on 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 Vipin be released on bail in aforesaid case crime number subject to his furnishing a personal bond and two reliable sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the trial court concerned with the following conditions: (i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during the trial.

(iv) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. 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. (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 under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code.
