Hon'ble Siddharth,J.
Counter affidavit filed by learned AGA is taken on record.
Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.G.A. for the State.
Submission is that from the first information report no offence under Section 376 I.P.C is made out against the applicant. However in the statement under Section 164 I.P.C the applicant has been implicated for the aforesaid offence. The age of the victim as per medical report is 16 years. The applicant is in jail since 05.06.2018 and has no criminal history to his credit. The medical report does not supports the prosecution case.

Keeping in view the nature of the offence, evidence, complicity of the accused, submissions of the learned counsel for 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, the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. The bail application is allowed.
