His bail application filed before the jurisdictional Sessions Court in Crl. Misc. No.1160/2025 was rejected on 30.06.2025. 4. Perusal of the material on record would go to show that the marriage of the first informant with accused no.2 was a - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:26498 CRL.P No. 9533 of 2025 love marriage. Petitioner herein is the younger brother of accused no.2. It appears that about 1 1/2 months prior to the registration of the FIR in the present case, first informant had received a message from an unknown number in her phone and she had informed her husband that the said message was received by her from Prema. Thereafter, there was a quarrel between the parties on 11.06.2025 and accused nos.1 & 2 allegedly after abusing the first informant had also assaulted her. It is further alleged that she was confined in a house and was assaulted for two days. It is in this background, she had filed a complaint before the police on 14.06.2025. 5. The wound certificate of the victim would go to show that she had suffered two injuries as a result of the alleged assault which are contusions and the said injuries are simple in nature. Petitioner who has no criminal antecedents, is in custody from 15.06.2025 onwards. Under the circumstances, I am of the opinion that petitioner's prayer for grant of regular bail is required to be answered affirmatively. Accordingly, the following order: - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:26498 CRL.P No. 9533 of 2025 6. The petition is allowed.
