Learned counsel for the appellant has submitted that informant stated in the FIR that his minor daughter aged about seventeen years was enticed away by accused Neeraj Gupta with the assistance of appellant. When statement of victim was recorded under Section 180 and 183 of BNNS-2023, it was stated by the victim that she was having intimacy with the present appellant who called her at the house of his sister. She has further stated that Versus Counsel for Appellant(s) : Bishram Tiwari Counsel for Respondent(s) : G.A. Ajmer Ansari .....Appellant(s) State of U.P. and Another .....Respondent(s) when she along with appellant was going towards the sister of appellant's house, she was apprehended by police personnel. Even victim has refused to undergo medical examination. Appellant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, appellant is entitled for bail. 5. Learned AGA for State has opposed the aforesaid prayer of the learned counsel for appellant and has submitted that victim had left her house after being called by present appellant. Her statement also reflects that she had left her house along with appellant without consent of her guardian. Hence, the appellant is not entitled for bail. 6.

After perusing the statement of victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of BNNS-2023, this Court finds that it is a fit case to grant bail to the appellant. 8. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, severity of punishment, the Court is of the opinion that the appellants have made out a case for bail. 9.
