Court No. - 72
                 HON'BLE RAJIV LOCHAN SHUKLA, J.

1. Heard Learned counsel for the applicant, Learned A.G.A. for the State
and perused the record.

2. The instant bail application has been filed with a prayer to release the
applicant on bail in Case Crime No.35 of 2026, under Sections 137(2), 87
of B.N.S., 2023, Police Station- Geeda, District- Gorakhpur.

3. The Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has
been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant has not
abducted the victim. A false recovery from the possession of the applicant
has been shown. The victim was not recovered from the possession of the
applicant. The Learned counsel for the applicant has further contended
that the victim, having been beaten by her mother, left her house in a fit of
anger and no sexual assault was made on the victim by the applicant. The
applicant has no criminal history and he is in jail since 28.1.2026. A
charges-sheet has now been submitted and the applicant is no longer
required for any custodial interrogation or recoveries.

4. The Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for grant of bail and has
contended that specific allegations of enticing away the victim and then
sexually assaulting her on a promise of marriage have been levelled
against the applicant by the victim in her statement recorded under
Section 180 BNSS. The victim is aged about 15 years and no justification
has been given by the applicant for his false implication.
                                                         BAIL No. 15289 of 2026
                                2


5. I have considered the submissions made by the Learned counsels for
the parties and perused the record.

6. A perusal of the statements of the victim recorded under Sections 180
& 183 BNSS shows serious contradictions. In her statement recorded
under Section 180 BNSS, the victim has stated that she lived with the
applicant in Bihar as husband and wife and had also established physical
relations with him. However, in her statement recorded under Section 183
BNSS, the victim has denied the establishment of any physical relations.
She has introduced one Kajal as the person, who had told her to run away
with the applicant. The victim has refused for her medical examination.
The applicant has no criminal antecedents.

7. Taking into account all the facts and circumstances of the case as
discussed above, period of detention of the applicant and the lack of
criminal antecedents, I deem it fit to enlarge the applicant on bail.

8. The bail application is allowed.

9. Let the accused-applicant- Bittu Kumar, involved in above mentioned
case crime number be released on bail, on his executing a personal bond
and two reliable sureties each, in the like amount to the satisfaction of the
court concerned, subject to the following conditions:


i. The applicant will not tamper with the evidence.


ii. The applicant will not indulge in any criminal activity.


iii. The applicant will not pressurize/intimidate the prosecution witnesses
and co-operate in the trial.

iv. The applicant will appear regularly on each and every date fixed by the
trial court, unless his personal appearance is exempted by the court
concerned.

10. In the event of breach of any of the aforesaid conditions, the court
below will be at liberty to proceed to cancel his bail.

                                                                    3


                                    11. It is made clear that the applicant shall be released on the basis of
                                    computer generated copy of this order, downloaded from the official
                                    website of High Court Allahabad and verified by the concerned counsel
                                    with the undertaking that the certified copy will be filed within 15 days.

                                    12. It is further directed that the trial court shall send the release order to
                                    the concerned jail through Bail Order Management System (BOMS) to
                                    ensure early release of the applicant.



                                                                                       (Rajiv Lochan Shukla,J.)
