The petitioner is approximately 23 years old, and respondent No.2 is approximately 22 years old. They were married on 18.05.2024, as per the certificate issued by the Marriage Registrar, Sub Registrar, Gajuwaka. The grievance of respondent No.2 is that the petitioner had sexual intercourse with her and harassed her. The petitioner also threatened her with dire consequences. On several occasions, the petitioner had intercourse with respondent No.2 and impregnated her without marrying her. The petitioner and respondent No.2 originally became acquainted in 2022 when she joined the nursing course at DDUGKY College in Anakapalli, where the petitioner was working as a computer trainer. Later, they developed a relationship. On 18.09.2023, respondent No.2 gave birth to a female child. The petitioner and respondent No.2 lived together for quite some time, but later differences arose between them, and they parted ways.

Both parties agreed not to file any Civil or Criminal cases against each other. It was further agreed that the female child born to them shall be cared for by the petitioner, who will be responsible for her maintenance, education, and future employment. 4 Considering the above facts and circumstances of the case, this Court 7. deems it fit to grant pre-arrest bail to petitioner/accused No.1, subject to the following stringent conditions: In the event of arrest of the petitioner/accused No.1, the petitioner/accused No.1 shall be enlarged on bail on executing a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees twenty five thousand only) with two sureties for the like sum each to the satisfaction of the arresting police officials; a) b) The petitioner shall make himself available for investigation as and when required; c) The petitioner shall not cause any threat, inducement or promise to the prosecution witnesses; d) The petitioner shall not leave the district limits without the express permission from the Station House Officer concerned. 8.
