Pursuant to the earlier order of this Court, learned A.G.A. has filed compliance affidavit today in the Court, wherein the ossification report of the victim has been annexed as Annexure-1. Perusal of the same would go to show that the victim is aged about 16 years. 2. Office vide its report dated 19.11.2025 has reported that notice issued to the first informant of the case has been served inspite of service of notice, none appears either for the informant or for the High Court Legal Services. 3. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and peruse d the record. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has contended that according to the ossification test, though the age of the victim is about 16 years but perusal of the statement of the victim recorded under Section 183 of B.N.S.S. would go to show that no offence under Section 64 of B.N.S.S., is made out. It is thus contended that it is a case of false implication and that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case due to ulterior motive. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ram Ashish Pandey Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Dharmendra Kumar .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s) implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 16.05.2025. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail. 6. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of evidence, and all attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. Hence the bail application is allowed. 7. Let applicant Dharmendra Kumar involved in Case Crime No.263 of 2025 under Sections 87, 137 (2), 64 B.N.S., Section 3/4 of POSCO Act, Police Station Sirsaganj, District Firozabad, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two heavy local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:- i) The applicant shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. ii) The applicant shall not threaten or harass the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant shall appear on the date fixed by the trial court. iv) The applicant shall not commit an offence similar to the BAIL No. 34622 of 2025 2 offence of which the applicant is accused, or suspected of the commission. v) The applicant shall not directly or indirectly make any inducement, threat or promise to any person acquainted with the facts of the case so as to dissuade such person from disclosing facts to the Court or to any police officer or tamper with the evidence. 8.
