However, as Dharmendra Kumar Yadav had blackmailed her she married him on 02.024.20217 in Arya Samaj Mandir, Aliganj but she and her husband continued to live in their respective houses. They disclosed their marriage to their family members after marriage of the informant's elder brother in the year 2018, whereafter their family members agreed to host a reception on 26.02.2020.

In the affidavit filed in support of bail application it has been stated that the applicant is a young man aged 28 years, he is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the present case because of certain matrimonial disputes between the informant and her husband and he has no criminal history. 8.

He has submitted that the investigation of the case is still going on. 9. Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the fact that the F.I.R. discloses matrimonial dispute between the parties; that the allegation against the applicant relates to 14.02.2021, whereas the F.I.R. has been lodged on 25.08.2024; that besides statements of victim there is no other material to support the allegations levelled against the applicant; coupled with the fact that the applicant is a young man having no criminal history and without making any observations which may affect the outcome of the case, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for granting anticipatory bail to the applicant. 10.
