HON'BLE DR. GAUTAM CHOWDHARY, J.

¶7

Heard 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 the victim is major and had gone with the applicant out of her own free will and consent. He further submits that the victim in her statement recorded under Section 180 B.N.S.S., has specifically stated that her father lodged the F.I.R., on the basis of suspicion whereas, the victim in her statement recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S., she has specifically stated that she was in talking terms for the last 4-5 years and that the applicant took her away at Gujarat, where he had committed rape upon her. Learned counsel further argued that the victim had stayed with the applicant for about 1, 1/2 months without raising any alarm, in fact, the victim is a consenting party and that the applicant has been falsely roped in the present case. It is thus contended that the victim has not levelled any allegation against the applicant and therefore the applicant is entitled for bail. 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 18.07.202.

¶11

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.

¶12

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.

¶13

Let applicant Munna Prasad involved in Case Crime No.621 of 2024 under Sections 137 (2), 61 (2), 64 B.N.S., Police Station Kasya, District Kushinagar, be released on bail on furnishing a personal bond and two local heavy sureties each of the like amount to the satisfaction of the court concerned subject to the following conditions:-

¶18
