Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the first anticipatory bail application filed by the applicant is dismissed by this Court on merit vide order dated 10.04.2026 passed in M.Cr.C. (A) No. 501 of 2026 and a new ground taken for the second anticipatory bail application is that the applicant has proposed marriage to the victim and is set to marry her on 28.06.2026; however, according to his own, the date of the wedding has already passed. He submits that the applicant is ready to abide all the directions and conditions imposed by this Court, if he is granted anticipatory bail, therefore, it is prayed that the the applicant may be extended the benefit of anticipatory bail.
5. Per contra, learned counsel for the State opposed the bail application and submitted that the applicant has been specifically named in the
3 FIR and serious allegations have been made against him by the prosecutrix, such as, housing trespass, theft, outraging modesty and administering poisonous substance with intent to kill the prosecutrix and, therefore, the applicant is not entitled for extending the benefit of anticipatory bail.
6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the material available on record.
7. After hearing learned counsel for the parties, and taking into
consideration the facts & circumstances of the case; and considering the new ground taken by the applicant for the second anticipatory bail application to the effect is that the applicant has proposed marriage to the victim and is set to marry her on 28.06.2026; however, according to his own showing, the date of the wedding has already passed, but the marriage has not been performed yet, therefore, I am not inclined to entertain this second anticipatory bail application.
