Hon'ble Shekhar Kumar Yadav,J.

¶5

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, Mr Abdul Majid, learned counsel for the informant, learned AGA for the State and perused the material on record.

¶6

The applicant seeks bail in Case Crime No. 136 of 2022, under Sections 363, 366, 376 (3) IPC and Section 3/4 (2) of POCSO Act, 2012, P.S. Mandawali, District Bijnor.

¶7

As per prosecution story, applicant is said to have enticed away the minor daughter of the informant.

¶8

It is contended by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that the victim in her statement said to have been recorded under Sections 161 & 164 Cr.P.C. has not supported the case of the prosecution and she had stated that she had gone with the applicant out of her own sweet will. The victim in her statement said to have been recorded under Sections 161 & 164 Cr.P.C. has not levelled any allegations of rape or abduction against the applicant. She denied the fact that applicant committed rape with her. It is further submitted that the victim was having love affairs with the applicant and therefore, she eloped with him according to her own sweet will. It is further submitted that victim herself has refused her medical examination. The applicant is in jail since 6.8.2022 and has no criminal history. Charge-sheet has been filed and conclusion of trial will take time, hence it is prayed that the applicant be released on bail.

¶9

Per contra, learned AGA has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the applicant. However, learned counsel for the informant does not dispute the aforesaid fact.

¶10

Upon hearing learned counsel for the parties, perusal of record and considering the complicity of accused, severity of punishment as well as totality of facts and circumstances, at this stage without commenting on the merits of the case, I find it a fit case for bail. However, any observation made herein-above,
