1. List has been revised.
2. Heard Sri Santosh Kumar Singh, learned counsel for the applicant as well as Sri Pranshu Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record.
3. Applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No.59 of 2025, under Sections 87, 137(2), 351(2), 351(3), 352 B.N.S., Police Station- Fatehganj East, District- Bareilly, 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. The victim is a consenting party as is but evident from her statement recorded U/s 183 BNSS. She has categorically stated that she had gone with the applicant on his motorcycle out of her own sweet-will and she has denied being subjected to any kind of sexual assault by the applicant.
5. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the FIR itself is delayed. The victim by her looks seems to be major, although she told her age to be 16 years in her statement. There is no criminal antecedent of the applicant. The applicant is languishing in jail since 4.3.2025 and he is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Santosh Kumar Singh, Syed Wajid Ali Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
