Based on which applicant was arrested on 23.06.2026. 3. Learned counsel for applicant submits that the applicant is innocent, he has been falsely implicated in the crime. Applicant is also a Government teacher. After coming into knowledge of the family members about the relationship between the applicant and the deceased, brother-in-law of deceased, after conducting counselling, took the deceased along with him. He contended the incident happened thereafter. Deceased was a major lady aged about 26 years and was in Government service and therefore applicant cannot be implicated to have committed the alleged crime. Therefore, he may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned State counsel opposes the submission of learned counsel for applicant and would submit that there is serious allegation levelled against applicant that he on the false pretext of marriage has committed sexual intercourse with deceased due to which she also got pregnant and thereafter refused to marry her. There is prima facie involvement of applicant in commission of offence levelled against him. 5. At this stage, learned counsel for applicant submits that in the post-mortem report, the doctor has not made any mention that any fetus is found and it is opined that cause of death is due to Asphyxia due to hanging. 6.

On due consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, nature of allegation, submission of learned counsel for the parties, period of detention of applicant, no custodial interrogation is required and the fact that charge-sheet has been filed, trial may take some time, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to allow this bail application. 8.
