Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is the step- father of the victim and has been falsely implicated in the present case. The allegations are per se false. The applicant and his wife are estranged; as such, the instant FIR has been instituted. There is no recovery of any video by the Investigating Officer; as such, it is a clear-cut case of false implication. The FIR itself is delayed by about seventeen days, and there is no explanation of the said delay caused either. The criminal history of one case assigned to the applicant stands explained. He is in jail since 07.04.2026 and undertakes to cooperate with the trial and not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application but the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant could not be disputed. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rajesh Kumar Roy Sharma Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Manish Arya .....Applicant(s) State of U.P. .....Opposite Party(s) 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the submissions made by learned counsel for the parties, and the evidence on record, taking into consideration the delay in the institution of the FIR and the fact that no video was recovered by the Investigating Officer, and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, prima facie the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed. 7. Let the applicant- Manish Arya, be released on bail in the aforementioned case crime on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties to the satisfaction of the court concerned, subject to verification of sureties, with the conditions that he shall not tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses and shall appear before the trial court as required. 8.
