What is this about?

High Court of Judicature at Allahabad, Lucknow Bench (Court No. 19), Subhash Vidyarthi, J.; neutral citation 2024:AHC-LKO:40910; order dated 29.5.2024 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 516 of 2024. Allowed bail under Section 439 Cr.P.C. to applicant Abhishek Yadav in Case Crime No. 278 of 2023, Sections 376, 420, 323, 504, 506, 120B IPC, Police Station Kudwar, District Sultanpur; FIR dated 29.08.2023 also named the applicant's father Rambali Yadav. Informant, widow of the applicant's elder brother, alleged fraudulent withdrawal of about Rs. 4,00,000/- from her deceased husband's bank account under allurement of marriage and repeated physical relations with the applicant. Medico legal and pathological examination reports did not support the physical-relation allegation (as per instructions of learned AGA); the court noted the parties come within degrees of prohibited relationship under the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, so the promised marriage was impermissible. Applicant in custody since 21.11.2023. Bail granted on personal bond and two sureties each in like amount; conditions: no tampering with prosecution evidence, no pressurizing prosecution witnesses, appearance on every date fixed by the trial court. Counsel: Surendra Pratap Singh for applicant; Anand Pratap Singh, AGA, for the State; Pintoo Kumar for the informant. No precedents cited; no monetary quantum awarded.
