¶5

Hon'ble Rajeev Singh,J.

¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. for the State of U.P. and perused the record.

¶7

The present bail application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime No.44 of 2025 under Sections 70(2), 351(2) BNS and Section 5/6 POCSO Act, Police Station Bazarshukul, District Amethi, with the prayer to enlarge him on bail.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is innocent person and he is in jail since 28.2.2025. He further submits that coaccused, Pintu having identical role, has already been granted bail by this Court, vide order dated 2.5.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.3724 of 2025 (bail order provided by learned counsel for the applicant is taken on record). In these circumstances, the applicant is also entitled for bail. In case of being enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶9

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer of the applicant for grant of bail, but he conceded the fact that co-accused Pintu has already been granted bail by this Court.

¶10

Considering the rival submissions of learned counsel for parties, material available on record, contents of the F.I.R., other relevant documents, bail order of the co-accused, Pintu, ground of parity as well as totality of fact and circumstances, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be

¶11
