HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD LUCKNOW CRIMINAL MISC. ANTICIPATORY BAIL APPLICATION U/S 482 BNSS No. - 1622 of 2025 Court No. - 15 HON'BLE KARUNESH SINGH PAWAR, J. Vakalatnama filed by Shri Mahendra Kumar Dixit, learned Advocate, on behalf of opposite party no. 2, is taken on record. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A. for the State, and learned counsel for the complainant, and perused the record. Perusal of the FIR as well as the statement of the victim recorded under Sections 180 and 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, prima facie, indicates the complicity of the applicant. The statement of the victim is consistent, and she has supported the prosecution version in both her statements. The offence alleged is under the POCSO Act, and there appears no reason for this Court to believe the applicant’s plea of false implication. Anticipatory bail being an extraordinary and exceptional remedy, this Court does not find any justification to exercise such jurisdiction in the present case, as it does not appear that the applicant has been falsely implicated or that his prosecution is motivated by malice or intended merely to injure his reputation. Moreover, the offence alleged is punishable with imprisonment up to seven years. Learned counsel for applicant, at this stage submits that he does not want to press the present anticipatory bail application; rather he may Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Shivendra Pratap Singh, Saurabh Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s): G.A.
