Bail granted — Criminal Misc. Bail Application No. 11316 of 2025 (decided November 20, 2025, Court No. 12, Pankaj Bhatia, J.) — Mohammad Mehran Sufi @ Ali @ Mohd. Mehran v. State of U.P. — Applicant sought bail in FIR No. 214 of 2025, Sections 87 and 70(1) BNS, P.S. Saadatganj, District Lucknow. Informant (stated to be 19 years old) alleged she was taken by her friend/co-accused Shakiba to the boyfriend's home and forced into physical relations with the applicant against her consent; however, her statement under Section 180 BNSS narrated a different story, and the medical report on record did not corroborate the allegation. Co-accused had already been enlarged on bail. Noting the medical report, the improbability of the allegation, custody since 28.08.2025 and absence of criminal antecedents (despite learned AGA's opposition), the Court held the applicant entitled to bail and allowed the application: release on a personal bond with two sureties of Rs.20,000/- each, conditioned on attending hearings, not committing similar offences, and not inducing, threatening or dissuading any person acquainted with the facts or tampering with evidence.
