HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT ALLAHABAD CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 32353 of 2026
Court No. - 68 (Sl. No. 62 out of 131) HON'BLE KRISHAN PAHAL, J.
1. List has been revised. As informed by learned A.G.A., notice has been served to the informant on 5.9.2026. 2. Heard Sri Kuldip Singh Yadav, learned counsel for applicant, Sri A.K. Mishra, 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. 0162 of 2026, under Sections 143(4)(6), 144(1), 98, 99, 127, 126, 3(5) BNS and 17/18 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Police Station Kokhraj, District Kaushambi, with the prayer to enlarge her on bail. 4. Learned counsel for the applicant has argued that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. There is material contradiction in the statement of the victim, as such, the applicant, being a lady, is entitled for bail. The applicant is in jail since 8.5.2026 and is ready to cooperate with trial. In case, the applicant is released on bail, she will not misuse the liberty of bail. 5. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the applicant is the main accused person, who was involved in the offence of women trafficking, as she had sold off the victim for a consideration of Rs. 1 lakh to co-accused person Anshu Yadav. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Ajay Singh Yadav, Kuldip Singh Yadav Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Manju @ Phoolwati .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s)
6. After hearing learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the fact that applicant is the main accused person in the said case, 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. 7. 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. 8. 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.
9. The Registrar Compliance is directed to transmit a copy of this order to the trial court concerned for necessary compliance. September 21, 2026 Shalini BAIL No. 32353 of 2026 2 (Krishan Pahal,J.) Digitally signed by :- SHALINI JAISWAL High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
