1. Heard Sri Raghvendra Mani Ojhaa, learned counsel for the applicant as well as learned A.G.A. and perused the record. Despite service of notice, no one appeared on behalf of the complainant.
2. The applicant seeks enlargement on bail in FIR No.127 of 2025, under Sections 137(2), 65(1) of BNS and Section 3/4 of POCSO Act, Police Station Manikpur, District Pratapgarh.
3. In terms of the FIR, it was alleged that the daughter of the informant was enticed by the applicant. In the statements under Sections 180 and 183 of BNSS, the victim did not support the prosecution story and supported the applicant. The tentative age of the victim is around 17 years. There is no definite document with regard to the exact age of the victim.
4. Learned A.G.A. vehemently opposed the bail prayer.
5. Considering the two statements of the victim and the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is languishing in jail since 28.08.2025, I am of the view that the applicant is entitled to be released on bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
