For the Petitioner
:- Mr. Mohit Prakash, Advocate
For the State
:- Mrs Shweta Singh, Advocate
For the Informant
:- Mr. Kripa Shankar Nanda, Advocate

2.
The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Ghaghra P.S. Case No.98 of 2025, for offence registered under section 376(2)(n), 506 of the IPC, pending in court of learned Judicial Magistrate, First Class, Gumla.
3.
Learned counsel for petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and the petitioner and the informant were in consensual relationship. He next submits that the first allegation is of 21.10.2023 wherein the FIR is registered on
19.09.2025. He also submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated and even at one point of time she was found to be pregnant and, on these grounds, he submits that anticipatory bail may kindly be granted to the petitioner.

4.
Learned counsel for the informant as well as the learned counsel for the respondent State oppose the prayer and submit that the relationship was established forcefully and the allegation is there of making video and thereafter on the pretext of making that video viral, the petitioner has exploited the informant several times and, on these grounds, they submit that anticipatory bail of the petitioner may kindly be rejected.
5. Looking to the contents of the FIR it transpires that first relationship was established forcefully and of the same the video has also been drawn by the petitioner and the allegations are there against the petitioner of establishing further relationship on threat of making the said video viral and in paragraph no.64 of the case diary it has come that pen-drive and the photographs of this petitioner has been produced in the court and it was seized. Having relationship or friendship is one aspect, however, to take away the dignity of anybody is another aspect, and in the attending facts and circumstances of the instant case, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to petitioner.
6. As such, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is, hereby, rejected and hence, A.B.A. No.6706 of 2025 is, hereby, dismissed.
