The villagers informed the informant that the applicant and two other co-accused have enticed her away. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the accused- applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated in this very case crime number due to party bandi. He further submits, prior to lodging of the FIR, name of the applicant has not been disclosed by the first informant in the missing report lodged by her. He further submits that the victim had solemnized marriage with co- accused Lalit. The applicant has no role in the alleged incident and is languishing in jail since 2.1.2021 having no criminal antecedent. There is no likelihood of his fleeing from course of justice or tampering with evidence in case of release on bail. Hence, bail has been prayed for.He further states, in case applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail. 6. Earlier this Court had directed the C.J.M. Aligarh to verify and submit a report whether the victim has entered into marriage with co-accused Lalit. In compliance of the order of this Court, the C.J.M. Aligarh submitted a report, stating that the victim has got married with co-accused Lalit on 7.12.2020. 7.
