Neutral Citation No. - 2025:AHC:70065 Court No. - 65 Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 13592 of 2025 Applicant :- Mohit @ Rohit Opposite Party :- State Of U.P. And 3 Others Counsel for Applicant :- Arvind Kumar Singh Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A. Hon'ble Krishan Pahal,J. 1. List has been revised. As informed by learned AGA, notice to the informant has been served on 18.04.2024 but none is present on behalf of the informant. 2. Heard Sri Arvind Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and also perused the material placed on record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 023 of 2025, under Sections 137(2) & 64 of BNS and Sections 5/6 of POCSO Act, Police Station - Jalesar, District - Etah, during the pendency of trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the said offence as alleged in the FIR. Learned counsel has also stated that the victim is the consenting party as is evident from her statement recorded u/s 183 BNSS whereby she has stated that she loves applicant and wish to marry him, although, she is a married lady. There is no medical corroboration of the incident. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 20.01.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Per contra, learned AGA has vehemently opposed the bail application but unable to dispute the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant and also the fact that the applicant has no criminal history. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties and the fact that the victim in her statement recorded u/s 183 BNSS has categorically stated that she loves applicant and wish to marry him, I find it a fit case to release the applicant on bail. The bail application is allowed. 7. Let the applicant- Mohit @ Rohit, who is involved in aforementioned case crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to following conditions. Further, before issuing the release order, the sureties be verified. i) The applicant will not tamper with the evidence during trial. ii) The applicant will not pressurise/intimidate with the prosecution witnesses. iii) The applicant will appear before the trial court on the date fixed. 8. In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail. 9. It is made clear that observations made in granting bail to the applicant shall not in any way affect the learned trial Judge in forming his independent opinion based on the testimony of the witnesses.
