Having considered the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case and keeping in view the statement of the victim recorded under Section 180 BNSS, coupled with the fact that the allegation of use of force levelled subsequently in her statement under Section 183 BNSS, is not supported by the findings of the medico legal examination report and that the applicant is a young man aged 21 years having no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 21.02.2025 whereas the investigation already stands concluded and the applicant has expressed his willingness to marry the victim, I am of the view that the aforesaid facts are sufficient for making out a case for enlargement of the applicant on bail in the aforesaid crime. 10. Accordingly, this bail application stands allowed. 11.
