This anticipatory bail application under Sections 482 and 484 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, has been preferred by the petitioner apprehending his arrest for offences registered under Sections 316(2), 318(4) and 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 and Section 3 and 4 of Dowry Prohibition Act. 3. The allegation against the petitioner is that on the pretext of marriage the petitioner had established physical relationship with the victim.

Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail. 5. Considering the aforesaid allegation and considering the fact that the persons are major and there is consensus in the 2025:JHHC:18422 2 relationship which had continued from 2023, this Court finds it a fit case for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, this Anticipatory Bail Application stands allowed.
