SL. No. Dat e Office Notes, reports, orders or proceedings or directions and Registrar’s order with Signatures COURT’S OR JUDGE’S ORDERS 2026:UHC:3032 BA 3rd No.06 of 2026 “Ravinder Singh Vs. State of Uttarakhand” Hon’ble Ashish Naithani, J. Mr. Mehboob Rahi, learned counsel for the Applicant. 2. Mr. Chitrarth Kandpal, learned Brief Holder for the State of Uttarakhand. 3. The present bail application has been moved on behalf of the Applicant, Ravinder Singh S/o Gajjan Singh R/o Krishna Nagar, P.S. Gadarpur, District Udham Singh Nagar. The applicant is presently in judicial custody in connection with FIR/Case Crime No.146 of 2023, dated 16.08.2023, under Sections 363, 366, 376 (2) of IPC and under Section 5/6 of the POCSO Act, at Police Station Dineshpur, District Udham Singh Nagar. He has sought his release on bail. 4. The first bail application of the Applicant being BA 1st No.2377 of 2024, was rejected on 08.04.2025. The second bail application of the Applicant was rejected by this Court on 19.09.2025. 5. The new grounds for consideration of the bail, which are advanced by the learned counsel for the Applicant is that almost all the prosecution witnesses have been examined, and the victim in her statement recorded under Section 161 and 164 of CrPC, has not supported the prosecution story, and therefore, the Applicant deserves bail. 6. Learned State Counsel has opposed the bail application of the Applicant. Firstly on the ground that the victim is 14 years old minor girl child, who was sexually exploited by the Applicant, which are well founded. In the present matter, there have been objectionable photo of the victim taken by the Applicant. More or less, there are no grounds which can be considered, at this juncture, of the 3rd bail application, and the grounds which the learned counsel for the Applicant has moved for consideration have already been dealt in the previous bail applications which are rejected by this Court after hearing learned counsel for the Applicant. 7. The grounds which are taken by the learned counsel for the Applicant regarding the statement of the victim have been considered in the previous bails and were not found to be relevant. As far as the entire evidence is concerned, almost entire evidence being recorded, still there are statement of the accused/Applicant under Section 313 of CrPC, to be taken thereafter, which is a stage of defence available to the Applicant. 8. Considering the overall facts and circumstances of the case, the Applicant has not made out a case for bail. Consequently, the third bail application of the Applicant is hereby rejected.
