1. List has been revised. As informed by learned A.G.A., notice to the informant has been served on 02.09.2025 but none is present on behalf of the informant even in the revised call. 2. Heard Sri Prashant Pandey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri V.K.S. Parmar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the record. 3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 67 of 2025, under Sections 137(2), 87, 352, 351(2) of BNS, Police Station Ahraura, District Mirzapur, 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. 5. Learned counsel has next stated that the victim is a consenting party as is but evident from her statements recorded under section 183 BNSS. It is true that the victim herself has stated her age to be 16 years but by her physical appearance, she seems to be major. It is a clear cut case of false implication, as such the applicant is entitled for bail. 6. There is no criminal history of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 05.04.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

7. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application. 8. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, the evidence on record and taking into consideration the fact that the victim is a consenting party, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 9. Let the applicant- Sheru, 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.
