Hon'ble Dr. Gautam Chowdhary,J.

¶7

Heard Ms. Nushrat Siddiqui, learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.

¶8

It has been argued by learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. Learned counsel further submits that initially F.I.R. was lodged under Section 363 I.P.C. against the applicant. She further submits that the victim in her statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. has stated that when she had gone to bring some articles from the shop on the way, the applicant met her, who on knife point took her to the brick kiln and had kept her there for whole night and had committed rape with her. Learned counsel further argued that though the statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. is not available with her, however after perusing the copy of the same, from learned L.G.A. she argued that the victim has stated that she was carrying on foot by the applicant but she did not raise any alarm, thus it appears that the victim is a consenting party. Learned counsel has next argued that as per ossification test, the victim is aged about 15-16 years when in fact, she is major and that the medical report also shows that no injury either external or internal seen on the person of the victim. It is thus contended

¶9

that medical report also does not corroborate with the prosecution version. Several other submissions in order to demonstrate the falsity of the allegations made against the applicant have also been placed before the Court. The circumstances which, according to the counsel, led to the false implication of the accused have also been mentioned. It has also been assured on behalf of the applicant that he is ready to cooperate with the process of law and shall faithfully make himself available before the court whenever required and is also ready to accept all the conditions which the Court may deem fit to impose upon him. He next submits that applicant is languishing in jail since 14.01.2023 having no criminal history. 3. Per contra, learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail of the applicant by contending that the innocence of the applicant cannot be adjudged at pre trial stage, therefore, he does not deserve any indulgence. In case the applicant is released on bail he will again indulge in similar activities and will misuse the liberty of bail.

¶10

Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, submissions of learned counsel for the parties, nature of evidence, and all attending facts and circumstances of the case, without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. Hence the bail application is allowed.

¶11

Let applicant Inam involved in Case Crime No.18 of 2023 under Sections 363, 376 I.P.C., and Section 3/4 of POCSO Act, Police Station Baghpat, District Baghpat, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two heavy local sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:-

¶14

II. The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through his counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 229-A of the Indian Penal Code.

¶15

III. In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail and in order to secure his presence proclamation under Section 82 Cr.P.C. is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 174-A of the Indian Penal Code.

¶16

IV. The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 313 Cr.P.C. If in the opinion of the trial court default of this condition is deliberate or without sufficient cause, then it shall be open for the trial court to treat such default as abuse of liberty of his bail and proceed against him in accordance with law.

¶17

In case of breach of any of the above conditions, it shall be a ground for cancellation of bail.
