Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submits that false allegation is made against the petitioner and the allegations are made of establishing relationship on the pretext of marriage. He further submits that what has happened that was consensual in nature and even the informant has resided in the house of the petitioner for more than one year. On these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted. 2026:JHHC:13537 --2-- A.B.A. No. 2125 of 2026 4. Learned counsel appearing for the State opposed the prayer and submits that allegations are there of establishing relationship on the pretext of marriage. 5. Looking into the contents of the FIR it transpires that the petitioner and the informant came into contact in the year 2022 wherein the FIR has been lodged on 26.01.2026. In the FIR itself, it has been stated that the informant has lived in the house of the petitioner for more than one year which prima facie suggests that she was there in a live-in-relationship and FIR has been lodged belatedly for a relationship which was since 2022. In the attending facts and circumstances of this case, I am inclined to provide anticipatory bail to the petitioner. 6. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is hereby directed to surrender before the learned Court within three weeks from today, and in the event of his surrender/arrest, the petitioner, above named, shall be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand), with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I-cum-Special Judge, Gumla in connection with Sisai P.S. Case No.14 of 2026, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 482(2) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated 06.05.2026 Sangam/
