HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 12692 of 2024 Court No. - 12 HON'BLE PANKAJ BHATIA, J. 1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record. Despite service of notice, no one appeared on behalf of the complainant. 2. The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.175 of 2024, under Sections 376, 328 IPC and Section 3/4 (2) of POCSO Act, Police Station Masauli, District Barabanki. 3. It is argued by the Counsel for the applicant that the co-accused, who is the wife of the applicant, was enlarged on bail vide order dated 17.12.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.12314 of 2024. The medical on record does not corroborate any allegation and even the statement of the victim made before the medical authorities does not alleged the commission of rape. 4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer. 5. Considering the fact that the co-accused has already been enlarged on bail coupled with the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 15.05.2024, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 6.
