Heard Sri Madan Singh, learned counsel for the applicant, Sri Ankit Srivastava, learned brief-holder for the State and perused the material on record.

Notice was issued to the opposite party no. 2 vide order dated 10.6.2021 . As per the office report dated 2.7.2021, letter has been received from the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Moradabad stating therein that notice has been served on the opposite party no. 2. From a perusal of the said letter along with its enclosures, it is apparent that notice has been served through the concerned police station on 20.6.2021. No one appears on behalf of the opposite party no. 2.

This bail application under Section 439 of Code of Criminal Procedure has been filed by the applicant Jeeshan, seeking enlargement on bail during trial in connection with Case Crime No. 495 of 2020, under Sections 377 I.P.C., Sections 17 and 5/6 of POCSO Act and 67B of the I.T. Act, registered at P.S. Bhojpur, District Moradabad.

Learned counsel for the applicant argued that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is argued that although the applicant is named in the first information report and in the statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of the victim but in the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. the victim has stated in very specific terms that the applicant and co-accused did not commit any bad act on him. It is argued that even in the statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. he has stated the reason for false implication of the applicant and the co-accused. It is argued that the medical report does not corroborate with the prosecution story and further there is no recovery of any incriminating video clip as stated in the first information report, which was alleged to have been recorded by the applicant. It is argued that the present first information report has been lodged after a delay of about 8 days from the incident for which there is no plausible explanation whatsoever. It is further argued that the applicant has no criminal history, as stated in paragraph 25 of the affidavit and is in jail since 7.12.2020.

Per contra, learned AGA opposed the prayer for bail and argued that although the mobile of the applicant was recovered but in his confessional statement he has stated that he had got the same formatted and as such, there was no recovery of any objectionable video clip. Learned AGA placed the statement recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of the victim but did not deny the fact that in the statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. of the victim, he has denied any act as such being done by the applicant and co-accused and also the fact that he has stated therein that the applicant and co-accused have been falsely implicated. It is argued that although the applicant is named in the first information report and in the statement under Section 161 Cr.P.C. of the victim, the role has been assigned as such, the bail be rejected.

After having heard the learned counsel for the parties and going through the records, it is apparent that the medical report does not corroborate with the prosecution case. There was no recovery of any incriminating video clip during investigation. The victim has in specific terms stated in his statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. that no such incident took place and the applicant has been falsely implicated.
