As per the prosecution case, the prosecutrix lodged an FIR alleging that the applicant had been maintaining physical relations with her for about three years on the false promise of marriage. On the basis of the said allegations, the offence was registered against the applicant. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet has been filed. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated. It is further submitted that the applicant and the prosecutrix came into contact about three years prior to the incident and remained in a consensual physical relationship till March, 2025. The prosecutrix is a major and a consenting party. It is further submitted that after the applicant came to know about the prosecutrix’s relationship with one Fulram Netam, he ended all relations with her and thereafter solemnized his marriage with another woman on 13.03.2026, following which the present FIR was lodged out of personal vendetta. Learned counsel further submits that the medical evidence does not support the prosecution case, there is unexplained delay in lodging the FIR, the charge-sheet has been filed, the applicant has no criminal antecedents and is in custody since 23.03.2026. It is also submitted that, by filing a covering memo dated 09.07.2026, copies of the FIR and Final Report in Crime No. 06/2025 registered against Fulram Netam have been placed on record in support of the applicant’s defence. 4. Per contra, learned State counsel opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the prosecutrix has made specific allegations that the applicant established physical relations with her for a prolonged period on the false promise of marriage. It is submitted that the statements of the prosecutrix recorded during investigation under Section 183 of B.N.S.S 2023 support the prosecution case and, considering the seriousness of the allegations, the applicant is not entitled to bail. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the case diary, this 3 Court finds that the prosecutrix is a major. The material available on record indicates that the parties remained in a consensual relationship for about three years. The investigation has been completed and the charge-sheet has already been filed. The applicant has no criminal antecedents and is in judicial custody since 23.03.2026. This Court has also taken note of the documents placed on record by the applicant through the covering memo dated 09.07.2026. At this stage, without expressing any opinion on the merits of the rival contentions, this Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for grant of regular bail, particularly when the trial is likely to take considerable time to conclude and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, this Court is of the opinion that it is a fit case to extend the benefit of regular bail to the applicant. 7. Let the applicant, Doleshwar Korram, involved in Crime No. 10/2026 registered at Police Station Mardapal, District Kondagaon (C.G.) for the offences punishable under Sections 64 and 64(2)(M) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, be released on bail on his furnishing a personal bond with two sureties in the like amount to the satisfaction of the Court concerned, subject to the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court.
