Heard Sri Atul Kumar Kushwaha, learned counsel for applicant, Sri Vivek Kumar Mishra, learned counsel for informant as well as Sri Sunil Kumar, learned A.G.A. for the State and perused the material placed on record. 3. The present bail application has been filed by the applicant in Case Crime No. 265 of 2025, under Sections 65(1), 351(3) BNS and 5(n)/6 POCSO Act, Police Station Milak, District Rampur, with the prayer to enlarge him on bail. ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF APPLICANT: 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The FIR is delayed by five days and there is no explanation of the said delay caused. 5. It is true that the applicant is uncle of the victim but the inordinate delay goes unexplained. There is no medical corroboration of the incident. Already five witnesses have been examined to date, as such, there is no likelihood of applicant tampering with evidence or he being at flight risk. 6. The applicant is in jail since 26.7.2025, as such, the period of Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Atul Kumar Kushwaha, Krishna Kant Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Harendra Singh .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s) incarceration is ten months. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail. ARGUMENTS ON BEHALF OF STATE/INFORMANT: 7. The five witnesses examined in trial have deposed against the applicant. The trial is at its conclusive end. CONCLUSION: 8. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that already five witnesses have been examined and they have deposed against the applicant; trial being at its conclusive end, I do not find it a fit case for grant of bail to the applicant. The bail application is found devoid of merits and is, accordingly, rejected. 9. However, it is directed that the aforesaid case pending before the trial court be decided expeditiously as early as possible, if there is no legal impediment. 10. It is clarified that the observations made herein are limited to the facts brought in by the parties pertaining to the disposal of bail application and the said observations shall have no bearing on the merits of the case during trial.
