Counsel for Applicant :- Vinay Kumar Singh Chandel Counsel for Opposite Party :- G.A.
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.202 of 2017, under Sections 363, 366, 376 IPC and Section 3/4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Police Station Dasaswamedh, District- Varanasi 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. It is further submitted that the present FIR has been lodged by mother of the victim against the applicant for the offence under Sections 363 & 366 IPC. Learned counsel for the applicant has drawn attention of the Court to the statement of the victim recorded u/s 164 Cr.P.C. on 17.01.2018, in which she has clearly stated that she is in affair with the applicant and on her own will, she along with the applicant went to Mughalsarai and from there they went to Delhi and thereafter they went to Punjab, where they roamed 4 - 5 days. Lastly, they went to Ajmer and from there they returned to Varanasi. As per ossification test, her age comes around 19 years and she is not high school passed. From the aforesaid facts, she appears to be a consenting party. It is next submitted that the applicant is in jail since 15.01.2018 having no 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 case for bail.
Let the applicant, Rahul Jaiswal, involved in case crime no.202 of 2017, under Sections 363, 366, 376 IPC and Section 3/4 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012, Police Station Dasaswamedh, District- Varanasi be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned with the following conditions which are being imposed in the interest of justice:-
