It’s a strange case where the complainant is two years elder to the petitioner with whom she was in a consensual relationship, which turned sour and therefore, she has lodged the present FIR. However, in a very short span of less than two months, she has entered into a compromise for which the CRM-M-1701-2026 has been filed to quash the present FIR on the basis of compromise. 5. In light of the above, the present petition is allowed. The order dated 23.12.2025 granting interim anticipatory bail to the petitioner, is made absolute. However, the petitioner shall join the investigation as and when called upon to do so by the Investigating Agency and shall abide by the conditions of Section 482 of BNSS, 2023. 6. However, nothing stated above shall be construed as a final expression of opinion on the merits of the case. 7. It is made clear that, in case, the petitioner is found involved in any such activity once again, the present concession granted shall automatically stand vacated. 8. It is further made clear that this order shall not be construed as parity qua any other co-accused.
