1. List revised. 2. Heard Sri Sudhanshu Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Ram Prakash Shukla, learned counsel for the State and perused the material on record. 3. This bail application under Section 483 BNSS has been filed by the applicant Rajneesh @ Lalu, seeking enlargement on bail during trial in connection with Case Crime No. 231 of 2025, under Section 64(1) BNS and Section 67 I.T. Act, registered at P.S. Uttar, District Firozabad. 4. The FIR of the matter was lodged on 23.04.2025 by the victim against the applicant alleging therein that on a false promise to marry the applicant established physical relationship with her. On 16.04.2025 he uploaded her photographs on social media and blackmailed her and called her in a hotel and threatened her. Report be lodged and action be taken. 5. Learned counsel for the applicant submitted that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that the applicant has not uploaded any photographs of the victim. It is submitted that the victim has given an affidavit dated 05.06.2025 in the bail application before the trial court concerned that the physical relationship between her and the applicant was with consent and there is no incident of rape. The photographs clicked were with her consent and the same was seen by her jeth which was in her mobile. It is submitted that as such looking to the same, the implication of the applicant is false. It is further submitted that the applicant has a criminal history of one case which has been disclosed and explained in para 16 of the affidavit in which he is on bail. The applicant is in jail since 25.04.2025. 6. Per contra, learned counsel for the State opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that as per his instructions, the objectionable photographs of the victim were uploaded by the applicant on social media which have been collected during investigation and are part of the case diary. It is submitted that the applicant is named in the FIR and there are allegations against him.
It is submitted that there is no reason for false implication of the applicant and as such the prayer for bail of the applicant be rejected. 7. After having heard learned counsels for the parties and perusing the records, it is evident that the applicant is named in the FIR and in her statements of the victim recorded during investigation. The photographs of the victim have been uploaded by him on social media which are the part of the case diary as per instructions received by learned counsel for the State. The affidavit of the victim is given in the bail application before the concerned trial court which cannot be looked into in the present bail application. No ground for bail is made out. I do not find it a fit case for bail. 8. Considering the totality of the case in particular, nature of evidence available on record, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 9. The bail application is, accordingly, rejected. 10. Pending application(s), if any, stand disposed of. Order Date :- 3.7.2025 M. ARIF (Samit Gopal, J.)
