1. List has been revised.
2. Heard Sri Arun Kumar Bajpai, learned counsel for applicant and Sri Mohd. Monis, learned counsel for the informant as well as Sri Jai Kishan Chaurasia, learned State Law Officer.
3. The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No.286 of 2024, under Sections 69, 127(2), 351(2), 61 B.N.S. and 67 I.T. Act, Police Station- Thariaon, District- Fatehpur with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.
4. As per prosecution story, the applicant is stated to have established corporeal relationship with the victim on the false promise of marriage and had subsequently posted the said indecent photographs of the victim, clicked during the said coitus, on Instagram, thereby maligned the victim.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that he has been falsely implicated in the present case. The allegations are per se false. The alleged photographs are not indecent. It is a clear cut case of false implication. Learned counsel has further stated that the applicant is ready to marry the victim. The victim is major aged about 21 years. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 17.1.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
6. Per contra, learned A.G.A. and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the applicant has misused his Instagram ID, which is on record, as such, he is not entitled for bail.
7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into
consideration the fact that applicant had made viral the said indecent photographs and reels of the victim on social media
platform, i.e. Instagram, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant.
8. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected.
9. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
