The case resulted in a chargesheet after completion of the investigation and is presently stated to be pending at the stage of appearance awaiting committal. The 3 (three) accused persons named in the FIR are the husband, brother-in-law (petitioner) and father-in-law. 4. The informant/victim has alleged about being demanded of several lakhs of rupees by the accused persons for solemnization of marriage with the accused No. 1. The specific allegation with regard to the present petitioner is that on 05.04.2026, he tried to commit rape upon her and the FIR was lodged on 11.06.2026.

Mr. Ahmed, learned counsel draws attention to the statement of the victim/informant recorded under section 183 BNSS before the learned Magistrate and further submits that there is variation in her statement vis- a-vis the FIR. 7. Upon perusing the statement, I find that therein she has stated about the present petitioner committing bad act upon her. 8. The learned Additional PP objects to the grant of bail. 9. I have given my consideration to the matter. Since the case is poised Page No.# 3/3 for commencement of Trial and to avoid any delay due to any abscondance of the accused persons, I am inclined to consider the prayer for bail, subject however to suitable conditions. 10. In such view of the matter, in the event of his arrest in connection with the aforementioned case, he shall be released on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 50,000/- (rupees fifty thousand only) with one surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority, and subject to the further conditions that:- (i) he shall be available for trial; (ii) he shall appear before the learned Court below on the next and subsequent dates; (iii) he shall not hamper or tamper with the evidence; (iv) he shall not cause any harm to the victim/informant in any manner; 11. Violation of any of the conditions would entail cancellation of the bail. 12. The petitioner upon appearance before the learned court below may submit fresh bail bond whereupon necessary orders may be passed. 13. Anticipatory bail application stands disposed of.
