Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Chandwa P.S. Case No. 29 of 2025, for the offences registered under Sections 74, 75(1)(ii), 77, 78(2) of the B.N.S, 2023 and Section 12 of the POCSO Act, pending in the Court of learned Special Judge POCSO Act, Latehar.
It is alleged that petitioner used to pressurize the victim to marry her and he also extended threat to her that he will make their photograph of their intimate relationship viral.
