Hon'ble Vipin Sinha,J.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A. G. A. for the State.
Applicant has moved the present bail application seeking bail in Case Crime No. 0783 of 2018, under Sections 363, 366, 376 I.P.C. and section 3/4 POCSO Act, P.S. Jagdishpura, District Agra.
I have perused the prosecution story as set up in the F.I.R. and also the bail rejection order.
The contention as raised at the bar by learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case; the girl was in a consensual relationship with the applicant for the last three months; there are vast contradictions in the statements of the girl recorded under Section 161 and 164 Cr.P.C.; as per the medical report the age of the girl is 18 years. It is lastly contended that the accused applicant is in jail since 13.12.2018 and in case he is released on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty.
The bail application has been vehemently opposed by learned A. G. A.
Keeping in view the reasons as stated above, the facts and circumstances of the case as have been discussed at the Bar of this Court, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, at this stage, prima facie, a case for bail has been made out. However, the said prima facie view of this Court will not in any manner adversely affect the case of the prosecution.
The prayer for bail is granted. The application is allowed.
Let the applicant Sonu involved in the aforesaid case crime number be released on bail on his executing a personal bond and furnishing two sureties each in the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned.
