Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that the prosecutrix and the applicant are in love relation with each other and the prosecutrix herself had joined the company of the applicant. He would next contend that the prosecutrix before the trial Court has raised her no objection with respect to grant of bail to the applicant.

Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for grant of bail. 5.
