It is further alleged that when she insisted, he put vermilion on her forehead on 08.02.2024 stating that he had married her. When it was objected by her, he married in the presence of the family members and on 1411.2024, he committed maar peeth with her and therefore, she lodged a report against the applicant. 4.

He submits that the applicant is in jail since 04.01.2025, the charge sheet has been filed and the trial is likely to take some time, he is ready and willing to comply with any of the conditions which may be imposed upon him and thus, it is submitted that the application be allowed and the applicant be released on bail. 5. Learned counsel for the respondent/State, on the other hand, has opposed the bail application. 6. Victim and her mother are present before the Court and they have no objection if the applicant is granted bail. 7. Heard counsel for the parties and perused the record. 8. On due consideration of the rival submissions and the fact that the applicant is in jail since 04.01.2025, the charge sheet has been filed and looking to the fact that the prosecutrix and her mother have no objection and that the final disposal of the trial is likely to take 3 sufficiently long time, the present application deserves to be allowed.
