BAI No. 3064 of 2021
Hon ’ble N.S. Dh an ik , J .
Mr. Shobhit Saharia, learned counsel
for the applicant.
Mr.
V.K.
Jemini,
learned
Deputy
Advocate General for the State.
Heard learned counsel for the parties.
This is first bail application moved on
behalf of the applicant seeking regular bail
in connection with Case Crime No. 423 of
2021 for the offence punishable under
Section 376, 384 and 504 IPC registered at
P.S. Gangnehar, District Haridwar.
It is argued by learned counsel for the
applicant that the applicant has falsely been
implicated;
that
the
applicant
has
no
criminal history; and he is languishing in jail
since 29.06.2021. He further argued that, in
the FIR, it has been alleged that the
applicant and the private respondent met
for the very time on 12.02.2020 at Institute
in Delhi and both went to a public park
where
both
of
them
had
meals
and
thereafter, allegedly private respondent lost
consciousness and after an hour, when she
woke up she was in the same public park
with the applicant sitting beside her and
that on 19.02.2020 i.e. after just three
days,
the
applicant
showed
her
few
photographs in compromising position and
then she could gather that something had
happened with her, still thereafter, on
20.02.2020, allegedly, she went with the
applicant in some nearby hotel where they
had physical relation and thereafter within a
month she went with the applicant allegedly
three time to hotel without any hue and cry;
that meaning thereby the first alleged
relationship was occurred in open public
park, which is an unbelievable story and
thereafter
without
any
protest
or
any
complaint, private respondent went with the
applicant
to
different
hotels;
that
unbelievably from March, 2020 onwards till
lodging of FIR in June, 2021 i.e. more than
1 year 3 months, the private respondent did
not made any complaint to her family or
friend or to any authority; that the only
material
gathered
by
the
prosecution
against the applicant are certain watsapp
chat, which have been held to be of no
evidentiary value; and that even from a
bare perusal of alleged inadmissible chat
would reveal that the case in fact is of affair
and
there
is
no
single
allegation
of
demanding any sexual favours whatsoever.
Learned
State
Counsel
although
opposed the bail application on the ground
that the prosecutrix has fully supported
the prosecution story, under Section 161
and 164 CrPC but admitted the fact that
the applicant has no criminal history.
Considering
the
facts
and
circumstances
of
the
case,
without
expressing any opinion as to the final merits
of the case, this Court is of the view that
the applicant deserves bail at this stage.
The bail application is allowed.
Let the applicant be released on bail,
on executing a personal bond and furnishing
two reliable sureties, each of like amount, to
the satisfaction of Court concerned.
All pending applications stand disposed
of, if any.
