The victim refused to undergo medical examination and no radiological test was conducted. In her statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, the victim stated that she voluntarily went with the applicant to Delhi, where they solemnized marriage.

Ansit Vishwakarma .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. Thru. Prin. Secy. Deptt. Of Home And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s) 4. Learned AGA as well as learned counsel for the complainant opposed the bail application. 5. Considering the victim?s statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, the absence of any criminal antecedents of the applicant, his incarceration since 15.06.2025, and the victim?s refusal to undergo medical examination, I find it to be a fit case for granting bail to the applicant. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. " 3. Learned counsel for the applicant further submits that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail in the added section i.e. Section 5/6 POCSO Act as he has already been enlarged on bail in a grievous section i.e. Section 3/4 POCSO Act. 4. Learned A.G.A. does not not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant. 5. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the fact that in a grievous section i.e. Section 3/4 POCSO Act, the applicant has already been enlarged on bail and there is no material or the occasion for this court to refuse/deny the bail of the applicant in the added Section 5/6 POCSO Act, in the chargesheet; without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail in the added section i.e. Section 5/6 POCSO Act. 6. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7.
