Hon'ble J.J. Munir,J.

This is a bail application on behalf of the applicant Nurain in connection with Case Crime No. 197 of 2018 under Section 376D, 452, 323, 506, 120B IPC P.S. Dilari, District Moradabad.

Heard Sri Ram Kumar Dubey, learned counsel for the applicant and Sri D.P.S. Chauhan, learned AGA along with Sri Abhinav Tripathi, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State.

The submission of learned counsel for the applicant is that so far as the applicant is concerned, the role assigned to him by the prosecutrix in her statement under Sections 164 and 161 Cr.P.C., and, also in the FIR, is one standing guard outside the door where co-accused Parvez and Tanjeem are alleged to have ravished her. It is also argued that the co-accused Parvez is married to the sister of the prosecutrix, going by the name Fatima. In this connection, learned counsel for the applicant has invited the attention of the Court to the marriage registration certificate dated 19.07.2018 issued under the Uttar Pradesh Marriage Registration Rules, 2017 by the Marriage Registration Officer, Moradabad. It is submitted that the prosecutrix's sister Fatima married Parvez, the main accused contrary to the wishes of the family, and, it is on that account that at the instigation of the family of the prosecutrix, the prosecutrix has come up with the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. given in aid to the FIR lodged by her mother, who is also the mother of the co-accused Parvez's wife. The said plea has been asserted for a fact in paragraph no. 15 of the affidavit in support of the present application. It is further argued that there is nothing in the medico legal report which may corroborate a case of rape.
