3. In terms of the FIR it was alleged that on 27.11.2023 at about 8 am, the applicant caught hold of the victim and tore her clothes and also threatened to kill her and when the said fact was told to the father of the applicant, he also abused the informant. Subsequently, in the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C., there was allegation of tearing the clothes of the victim and misbehaving inappropriately. It was specifically stated that nothing wrong was done to her. However, in the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C., specific allegation of rape was levelled against the applicant.

4. Learned counsel for the applicant draws my attention to the medical report on record which does not corroborate the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C., and does not support the prosecution story. As per the educational record, the date of birth of the victim is 01.01.2004.

Considering the fact that no allegation of rape was levelled in the FIR or in the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. and the allegations levelled under Section 164 Cr.P.C. are not corroborated by the medical on record coupled with the fact that the criminal history of the applicant has been duly explained in Para 3 of the supplementary affidavit wherein he is being tried for a petty offence being under Section 323/504/506 IPC, the applicant is entitled to be enlarged on bail. In view thereof, the application is allowed.
