Affidavit of Senior Superintendent of Police, Mujaffarnagar filed today by learned A.G.A. for State is taken on record. 2. Learned A.G.A. for State submits that, entire details of search operations shall be placed on record, as such, collecting CCTV footage from Dehradun, Masoori, Dharmshala etc. and shall also clarify as to how the call details record was collected after submission of charge sheet and after the lapse of about three months from the date of alleged incident. 3. List on 18.5.2026 as fresh.” 2. Today when the case has been called on, the learned A.G.A. has not brought on record the details of the search operations. The applicant is continuously in jail since 16.01.2026 and a charge sheet is also said to have been filed against the applicant. In view of these circumstances, the Court does not propose to defer the hearing of this bail application any further and has heard the learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. for the State. 3. The instant bail application has been filed with a prayer to release the applicant on bail in Case Crime No. 311 of 2025, under Sections 137(2), 87, 142 of the B.N.S., Police Station- Charthawal, District- Muzaffar Nagar, during the pendency of the trial. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant contends that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant along with his brother Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Syed Riyaz Askari Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Gufran .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) Javed is said to have supposedly abducted the daughter of the informant. The applicant has been arrested by the police from his own village and he is continuously in jail since 16.01.2026. The applicant has no criminal antecedents. 5. The learned counsel for the applicant further contends that the victim may have eloped with the brother of the applicant, Javed and as per call details records collected during investigation, it appears that the victim and the co-accused Javed were at Ludhiyana in December, 2025. The applicant is no longer wanted for any custodial interrogation or recoveries as a charge sheet has already been filed. He may be considered for grant of bail. 6. The learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail and has contended that the victim is yet to be recovered. There is specific allegation against the applicant of abducting the victim along with his brother. The learned A.G.A., however, could not dispute the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents.. 7. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for the parties. 8. The applicant is named in the First Information Report (FIR) along with the co-accused Javed and allegations of abducting the victim have been made against the applicant and the co-accused Javed. The statement of certain independent witnesses indicate that the victim used to talk with the brother of the applicant Javed. The father of the victim is the cousin of the applicant and the co-accused Javed. The charge sheet against the applicant has already been filed. The applicant is in jail since 16.01.2026 and the trial against him is not likely to conclude in near future. 9. Taking into account the entire facts and circumstances of the case, a prima facie case for bail is made out. 10. The bail application is allowed. 11.
