1. Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA and perused the record.
2. The accused-applicant seeks bail in FIR/Case Crime No.236 of 2025 under sections 137(2), 87, 65(1) BNS and section 5L/6 POCSO Act, P.S. Sarojni Nagar, District Lucknow.
3. In terms of the FIR, allegations were levelled that the daughter of the informant aged about 14 years was enticed by the applicant. Subsequently, in the two statements recorded under section 180 and 183 BNSS, the victim stated that she knew the applicant since long and were in relationship and the parents had stopped the victim to go to school and ultimately both of them went to Ghaziabad and Delhi. She also stated that she was scared of her parents. The counsel for the applicant relies upon the judgement of this Court in the case of Monish vs. State of U.P. and others decided on 09.02.2023 in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.55026 of 2021 to argue that the issue with regard to age is to be settled at the time of trial.
4. Considering the two statements not supporting the prosecution, the applicant who is in custody since 03.09.2025 and has no criminal history is entitled to bail. Thus the bail application is allowed. Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Bhanu Pratap Singh, Mohd Arman, Mohd. Tariq Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Mohd.
