As per prosecution story, the applicant is stated to have enticed away the minor daughter of the informant on 24.9.2024 at about 05:00 p.m. The victim is stated to have taken away cash and ornaments from her house alongwith her. 5. 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. The FIR is delayed by about four days and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has further stated that the consent of the victim can be drawn from the fact that she had taken away ornaments and cash alongwith her from the house. She has even expressed her consent in her statement recorded U/s 183 B.N.S.S. The victim by her looks seems to be major and she herself has stated that she is 18 years old. 7. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant that there is no medical corroboration of the incident. There is no criminal antecedent of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 18.12.2024 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. 8. Learned State Law Officer has vehemently opposed the bail application. 9. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record, taking into consideration the delay in institution of FIR and the statement of the victim recorded U/s 183 B.N.S.S. coupled by the fact that there is no medical corroboration of the incident, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 10.
