Heard the parties.
The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Latehar P.S. Case No. 11 of 2025, for the offences registered under Sections 376(2)(n), 313 of the I.P.C., pending in the Court of learned C.J.M., Latehar.
On the pretext of marriage, petitioner is alleged to have established consensual physical relationship with the prosecutrix. Later on, he refused to marry her.
It appears that parties were in consensual physical relationship for about three years.

Accordingly, the petitioner, named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned C.J.M., Latehar, in connection with Latehar P.S.
