1. Heard Sri Prem Narayan Singh, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri Rajeev Kumar Singh, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material available on record.
2. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 200 of 2025, under Sections 137(2) of B.N.S., Police Station - Shahganj, District - Agra, during the pendency of trial.
3. Contention of the learned counsel for the applicant is that though in first information report, the allegation has been made that the applicant alongwith his family members enticed away the daughter of the first informant but the victim in her statement recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S has stated that she herself left her house on scolding by her family members and present applicant has not committed any indecent activity with the victim. The applicant is a law abiding citizen and is languishing in jail since 15.05.2025 having no criminal history. Charge has already been submitted against the applicant, therefore, there is no requirement of custodial interrogation. In case, they are granted bail, they will not misuse the liberty of bail and would cooperate in the trial proceedings.

submissions of learned counsel for the parties and keeping in view the nature of offence, evidence, complicity of accused and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I am of the opinion that the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail.

aforementioned 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, with the following conditions:- i.

The applicant shall not indulge in any criminal activity or commission of any crime after being released on bail. iv.
