Case :- CRIMINAL MISC. BAIL APPLICATION No. - 28794 of 2019 Applicant :- Sandeep Opposite Party :- State Of U.P.And Another Counsel for Applicant :- Abhijit Mishra 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. 308/2018, under Sections 363, 376, 506 IPC and 3/4 POCSO Act, 2012, P.S. Dannahar, District- Mainpuri 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 got registered by father of the victim on 12.11.2018 u/s 506, 363 IPC and section 7/8 POCSO Act with the allegation that the applicant has enticed away his minor daughter. After recovery, the girl was put for recording her statement u/s 161 Cr.P.C. whereby she has stated that she is resident of Eta and when she went to attend the call of nature in the morning, the applicant has made her unconscious and taken her to some unknown destination. She remained in the company of applicant for 8 good days. It is further submitted that the story narrated by the victim that she was confined in the room for 8 good days and during this period she could not get any opportunity to raise any alarm or seek help from others. The story setup by the victim palpably sounds unreasonable. She further submits that the applicant used to ravish her modesty 2-3 times in a day but her medical belies this story narrated by her. It has lastly been submitted that the applicant is in jail since 26.02.2019 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 fit case for bail.
