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.57 of 2025, under Sections 137(2), 87, 65(1), 351(3) of BNS and Section 3/4 of POCSO Act, Police Station Auras, District Unnao. 3. In terms of the FIR, allegations were levelled that the daughter of the informant aged about 12 years was enticed by the applicant. Subsequently, in the statement under Section 180 of BNSS, the victim did not support the prosecution case and stated that as she was beaten up by her parents, she went to the applicant. Although, in the statement under Section 183 of BNSS, the allegation of physical relation was also alleged, however, the victim has refused to undergo medical examination. 4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer. 5. Considering the two statements of the victim and the fact that the victim refused to undergo medical examination and the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 06.03.2025, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail.
