Hon'ble Rahul Chaturvedi,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record.
By means of this application, the applicant who is involved in case crime no. 565 of 2017, under Sections 366, 376 IPC, P.S. Jewar, District- Gautam Budh Nagar is seeking enlargement on bail during the trial.
Learned counsel for the applicant in support of his application for bail submits that the applicant is innocent. He has been falsely implicated. It is further submitted that the FIR was registered on 26.10.2017 by the father of the prosecutrix under sections 363, 366 IPC for the alleged act of kidnapping of his daughter by the applicant. It is further submitted that as per high school certificate as well as CMO report, her age comes around 18 years. She went along with the applicant from Jewar to Mathura and from there they went to Bhopal where she resided for two months and then proceeded to Vishakhapattanam. They also came to Allahabad High court where interest of the applicant as well as the victim was protected by means of Criminal Misc. Writ Petition No. 1732 of 2018 vide order dated 25.01.2018. Learned AGA has pointed out that her statement recorded u/s 161 and 164 Cr.P.C. are against the applicant and in reply to the same, the learned counsel for the applicant further submitted that her both statements were given under the influence of her parents. Since the girl has visited various places for almost 3 months without any affective resistance or objection she appears to be a consenting party of the entire episode. It has lastly been submitted that the applicant is in jail since 13.03.2018 without having any criminal antecedents except the present one.
Learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts and the legal submissions as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.
Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, submissions of the learned counsel for the parties and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I am of the view that the applicant has made out a fit case for bail.
