The allegation as alleged in the FIR is false and fabricated and the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. 5. The learned Additional Public Prosecutor on the basis of material available on record and the case diary has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that it appears from the record of the case diary that the marriage of the petitioner was solemnized on 18.04.2025 and the alleged occurrence took place on 26.07.2025 i.e, within a period of three months.
