Learned counsel for the applicant has submitted that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in this case as he has not committed any offence as alleged in the prosecution story so narrated in the First Information Report (in short F.I.R.). 5.Attention has been drawn towards the impugned First Information Report (in short F.I.R.) wherein the sole allegation / main allegation has been levelled against elder brother of the present applicant, namely, Mohd. Amir. The allegation further says that his elder brother, Mohd. Amir, has established physical relations with the prosecutrix on the pretext of false promise of marriage. The prosecutrix and his elder brother were in affairs and were got married to each other. While recording the statement of the prosecutrix under Section 180 B.N.S.S., she has stated that on 31.10.2024 she left her home and had gone to another place with the elder brother of the present applicant with whom she was willing to get married as she is major. However, in her statement recorded under Section 183 B.N.S.S., she changed the story levelling allegation against the elder brother Mohd. Amir. The prosecutrix has refused to get medical examination though the medical examination was necessary. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant has stated that considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, this Court granted regular bail to the elder brother of the present applicant, Mohd. Amir, on 2012.2024 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.13245 of 2024; Mohd. Amir vs. State of U.P. Investigation is going on in the matter. The present applicant is having no prior criminal history of any kind whatsoever. He is having permanent address, therefore, there is no flight risk. He undertakes that he shall cooperate in the investigation, therefore, till completion of investigation and filing of the police report, the liberty of the resent applicant may be protected in the light of the dictum of Apex Court rendered in the case in re: Sushila Aggarwal Vs. State (NCT of Delhi)- 2020 SCC online SC 98. 7. Learned Additional Government Advocate has opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail but unable to dispute the submissions raised by the learned counsel for the applicant. 8. Therefore, without entering into merits of the issue, considering the arguments of learned counsel for the parties, considering the material available on record the contents and allegations of the F.I.R., the statement of the prosecutrix and the undertaking of the present applicant that he shall co-operate in the investigation and shall never misuse the liberty of anticipatory bail, I find it appropriate that liberty of the present applicant may be protected till completion of the investigation and filing of the police report in view of the dictum of Hon'ble Apex Court rendered in re: Sushila Aggarwal Vs.
