Heard Sri Brijesh Sahai, learned Senior Counsel assisted by Ms. Zia Naz Zaidi, learned counsel for the applicant as well as the learned AGA for the State and perused the material placed on record.
The instant bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant, Arvind Singh with a prayer to release him on bail in Case Crime No. 222 of 2017, under Sections 376(2)(i), 506 IPC and Section 4 POCSO Act, Police Station Mataundh, District- Banda, during pendency of trial.
Submission is that the age of the victim, as per medical report, is above 18 years. In the medical report, no examination of hymen and perineum was carried out by the doctor. It is a case of false implication. There is financial dispute between mother of the victim and applicant. There is no mark of any sexual violence on the body of the victim. The applicant does not have any criminal history to his credit. The applicant is languishing in jail since 7.12.2017. In case, the applicant is released on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.
Per contra learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserves any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.
Having considered the submissions of the parties, larger mandate of the Article 21 of the Constitution of India and the dictum of Apex Court in the case of Dataram Singh Vs. State of U.P. and another, reported in (2018) 3 SCC 22 and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, let the applicant Arvind Singh involved in the aforesaid crime be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions that :-
