The present bail application under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, has been filed on behalf of applicant with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 439 of 2025 under Sections 65(2), 115(2), 351(2) BNS and 5MN/6(1) POCSO Act registered at Police Station-Sector 63, NOIDA, District Gautam Budh Nagar during pendency of the trial. 3. At the very outset, learned A.G.A. states that notice has been served upon the first informant. 4. It has been argued by learned counsel for the applicant that applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case and the victim as well as the first informant have turned hostile before the learned trial court and they have not supported the allegations made in the FIR. It is further submitted that medico-legal report of the victim also does not support the allegation of rape on her and she is aged about nine years as per marksheet of class I. It is further submitted that applicant, who has no criminal history, has been languishing in jail since 01.10.2025 and he undertakes that he will not misuse the liberty, if granted. It has also been pointed out that in the wake of heavy pendency of cases in the Court, there is no likelihood of any early conclusion of trial. 5. On the other hand, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant, however, he does not dispute the aforesaid facts. 6. As per the FIR, applicant is said to have committed penetrative sexual assault on the victim who is his daughter. The victim is aged about nine years as per marksheet of class I and her medico-legal report does not support the allegation of penetrative sexual assault on her. Applicant, who has no criminal history, has been languishing in jail since 01.10.2025. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Virendra Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A.
