2/4

Learned counsel for the appellant submits that learned

counsel for the informant verbally told that he had no instruction

from the client now.

Appellant is an advocate. He was appearing on behalf of

the husband of the informant of this case in Case No.304 of 2014 ,

a case under Section 498A I.P.C. pending in the court at Hajipur.

The aforesaid fact finds substantiated from the Vakalatnama filed

by the appellant in that case. A copy of the same is available with

supplementary affidavit. Appellant has stated on oath that he has

got no criminal antecedent.

Allegation in the FIR is that the appellant asked the

informant to come to his residence and assured for help of every

kind in the case. Believing the appellant, the informant agreed to

everything what the appellant said and taking advantage of the

situation, the appellant made physical relation with her and got a

video clip of what the appellant did. Showing the same to

informant the appellant sexually exploited the informant off and

on. After the same occurrence committed against the informant on

08.09.2019, the FIR was lodged.

Learned counsel for the appellant submits that no video

clip was provided to the police to substantiate the allegation rather

entire allegation is concocted one, just to harass the appellant in

not appearing for the husband of the informant in the criminal case

pending before the court. Learned counsel for the appellant further

submits that the informant is in the habit of lodging false criminal

cases to get wrongful gain. She had lodged Complaint Case

No.2958 of 2012 in the court of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate,

Hajipur, (a copy at Annexure-2), against the local Block

Development Officer, alleging therein that the Block Development

Officer called her at his residence and to show some favour

established physical relation with the complainant. Learned

counsel for the appellant further submits that the same informant

had filed a case for theft against her landlord. Likewise a lady

Doctor, Dr. Priyanka had lodged a criminal case against the

informant of this case and others. Appellant is in custody since

17.11.2019.

Considering the entire background of the case as well as

the background of the present allegation, if the professionals

would be allowed to be harassed in the manner as has been done

by the informant in this case, it would be very difficult, to survive

or stand for anyone, for the man like the appellant. Therefore, in

my view, the appellant deserves to be released on bail.

Accordingly, let the appellant, above named, be released on bail on

furnishing bail bond of Rs.20,000/- (Twenty Thousand) with two

sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned

Court-below where the case is pending in connection with the

aforesaid case, with condition that both bailors shall be resident of

territorial jurisdiction of the learned court below and further the

appellant shall fully cooperate with the investigation/trial of the

case, failing which the court below shall be at liberty to cancel the

bail bond of the appellant.

Accordingly, the impugned order is set aside and this

appeal stands allowed.
