The allegation against the petitioner is that the victim was sexually assaulted by another person Deepak Murarka and when she raised alarm at the work place, everybody in the office came to her rescue and the present petitioner Ananda Murarka induced the victim to develop a relationship with him by promising the victim that he would marry her. Thereafter, a love relationship developed between the victim and the petitioner and the victim was induced to have physical relationship with the petitioner like husband and wife. The petitioner has applied vermilion on the victim on 21.11.2024 and the formal wedding date was fixed on 15.05.2025 and Juron was also observed on 04.05.2025. However, on the date of marriage, the petitioner did not turn up and thus the petitioner abandoned the victim and committed an offence of cheating. 5. I have scrutinized the Case Diary. 6.
