Supplementary affidavit filed by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record. 2. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State as well as Shri Waris Farooqui, learned counsel for the informant, whose vakalatnama filed today is taken on record. 3.

In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the daughter of the informant, aged about 15 years, went missing. Subsequently, apprehension was raised that the accused no.1 had enticed her. In the statement recorded under Section 180 BNSS, victim made allegations against the co-accused Suhail. The applicant was not named. However, in the statement recorded under Section 183 BNSS, the victim took the name of the applicant stating that he was driving the auto, which took her to the hotel. Medico- legal examination report does not corroborate with the prosecution story. 5. Learned AGA and learned counsel for the informant have opposed the bail application. 6. Considering the huge variance in the statements of victim as well as medico-legal examination report coupled with the fact that the applicant is in custody since 06.08.2025 and has no previous criminal antecedent, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.
