SHUBHAM SINGH RAGHUVANSHI Digitally signed by SHUBHAM SINGH RAGHUVANSHI Date: 2026.04.07 10:39:05 +0530 2 3. As per prosecution story, the incident had taken place in between 03.01.2025 to 14.12.2025. On 03.01.2025, the applicant induced the minor victim on the pretext of marriage who was aged about 13-14 years at the time of incident and committed sexual intercourse with her on several occasions due to which she became pregnant and also delivered a child. Based on above, offence has been registered against the applicant and he was arrested on 29.12.2025. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the crime in question. He further submits that mother, father and brother of the victim have already been examined and turned hostile before the Trial Court. The applicant is in jail since 29.12.2025, out of 19 prosecution witnesses, 3 have been examined till date and the trial is likely to take time to be finalized, therefore, it is prayed that the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 5. Per contra, learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the victim was minor aged about 13-14 years, she became pregnant by the applicant and also delivered child, therefore, looking to the nature of offence, the applicant may not be released on bail. 6. I have heard learned Counsel appearing for the parties and perused the material available on record. 7. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicant, the age of victim at the time of incident and the fact that she has not been examined before the Trial Court till date, without commenting on merits of the case, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. 8. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Shubham
