The prosecution story, in brief, is that on 05.11.2025, the prosecutrix had lodged an FIR against the present applicant alleging that she was in love relation with the applicant since two years, the applicant and VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Digitally signed by VAISHALI LUCKY NAGARIA Date: 2025.12.08 11:01:34 +0530 2 prosecutrix made physical relation of the first time on 14.02.2023 and allegedly the applicant continued to make physical relations on pretext of marriage, the last time they allegedly made physical relation was on 01.10.2025, thereafter FIR has been registered against the applicant. 3. It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that the applicant is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. It is submitted by learned counsel for the applicant that the present applicant and the prosecutrix were in a relationship and were known each other since 2023. It is further argued by learned counsel for the applicant is that victim is a major girl. Further there was consensual relationship between them. He further submits that investigation and trial may take some more time, therefore, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the applicant. 4. Learned counsel for the State as well as learned counsel appearing for the Objector would oppose the bail application of the applicant and submits that as per the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Section 183 of BNS, in which she stated that prosecutrix and present applicant were in a relationship and they were known each other since 2023 and applicant made physical relation with her on the pretext of marriage at different times, therefore, he is not entitled for grant of anticipatory bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, levelled against the present applicant and looking to the statement of the prosecutrix recorded under Section 183 of BNS, wherein she has admitted that 3 the applicant and prosecutrix was in contact since 2023, prosecutrix is major girl and she was consenting party. Therefore, without further commenting anything on merits, I am inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the applicant. 7.
