INFORMANT VS. STATE OF U.P.

IN THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA

CRIMINAL APPELLATE JURISDICTION

CRIMINAL APPEAL No.________ OF 2026

(Arising out of SLP(Criminal) No.7190/2026)

INFORMANT Appellant(s)

VERSUS

STATE OF U.P. & ORS. Respondent(s)

O R D E R

1. Leave granted.

2. This is an appeal by the informant/

the appellant, who is the father of the

victim. It is on his report, the concerned

Police registered an FIR bearing No. 0374

dated 14.08.2025, registered with Police

Station- Bewar, District Mainpuri, Uttar

Pradesh under Section 65(2) of Bhartiya

Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 5(m) and 6

of the Protection of Children from Sexual

offences Act, 2012.

3. Since, we propose to allow the

appeal on the short ground that while

releasing the respondent no.2, Anuj Kumar

Yadav on bail, the High Court has neither

assigned proper reasons nor has considered

the material presented by the prosecution

before the Court, we are not dealing with

the details of the evidence as it may affect

the case of either of the parties before the

High Court.

4. Accordingly, the impugned order

passed by the High Court is set aside and

the matter is remitted back to the High

Court for consideration of the respondent

no.2 bail petition afresh on its own merits.

The bail petition of respondent no.2 is

restored to file to its original number.

5. Respondent no.2, Anuj Kumar Yadav,

shall surrender before the concerned Police

Station within two weeks from today.

6. The appeal stands allowed.

7. Pending applications(s), if any,

shall stand closed.
