In the year 2023, one lady had lodged an FIR before the police alleging that the present petitioner while living with her for a long time ditched her for some reasons.

It may be mentioned that during the pendency of the said case before the Trial Court in the month of July, 2024, the petitioner again entered into the life of the girl and they again started to live together, as a result of which, the girl became pregnant. 5. Now the girl says that this time the petitioner put pressure upon her to give birth to the baby. It may be mentioned that the petitioner is already married having a son. 6. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel of both sides. 7. The informant girl is a mature woman and she has the ability to understand Page No.# 3/3 everything, in spite of that she continued with her relationship with the present petitioner. In such a circumstance, the petitioner does not deserve to be detained in custody. His pre-arrest bail application is hereby allowed. 8.
