He even physically assaulted her. He used to call her at midnight and he also created disturbances in her family. 4. The petitioner threatened the girl that he will upload her private photographs in social media. 5. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel for both sides. 6. The story projected in the FIR depicts a strange relationship between the girl and the boy but, this Court is of the opinion that for these so-called offences, the petitioner does not deserve to be detained in custody. Therefore, his prayer is allowed. 7. It is hereby directed that in the event of arrest in connection with North Lakhimpur P.S. Case No.116/2026, the petitioner, Subir Sarkar shall be released on bail of Rs.25,000/- with a surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority. 8.
