1. List has been revised.
2. Heard Sri Suresh Kumar Gupta, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record.
3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.355 of 2024, under Sections 87, 64, 351(3) B.N.S., Police Station Sen Paschimpara, District Kanpur Nagar, 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. The victim is a consenting party as is evident from the fact that she had married the applicant on 28.08.2024 itself much before the alleged date of incident. The FIR itself is delayed by exactly one month and there is no explanation of the said delay caused.
5. Learned counsel for the applicant has further argued that the victim is major aged about 25 years as her date of birth is
13.02.1999. There is no medical corroboration of the incident. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 26.01.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
6. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application.
7. 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 the
FIR and there being no medical corroboration of the incident coupled with the fact that the victim seems to be a consenting party, 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.
8.
