He next submits that on the fresh ground, present anticipatory bail application has been filed as the petitioner and informant have solemnized the marriage and they are residing together and both are major. On these grounds, he submits that the anticipatory bail application may kindly be granted. 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer and submits that it appears that now the marriage has been solemnized. 5. Learned counsel for the informant accepts the submission of learned counsel for the petitioner and submits that now the marriage has been solemnized and both are residing together.

Considering that earlier anticipatory bail application was dismissed as withdrawn and now the present anticipatory bail application has been filed stating that now both have solemnized the marriage and residing together and on the fresh ground second anticipatory bail application can be maintained and it has also been pointed out that both are major, in the attending facts and circumstances, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 7.
