Looking into the contents of the FIR, it transpires that the relationship was there since last four years, however, the petitioner has concealed his caste. The allegations are also there that the petitioner has made obscene video, which has been made viral. The allegation of demand of Rs.4 Lakh is ( 2026:JHHC:10243 ) -2- A.B.A. No. 1233 of 2026 also there by way of blackmailing. Having the friendship is one of the aspect but taking dignity of any woman and privacy are serious matter. In the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner and, as such, his prayer for anticipatory bail is, hereby, rejected. 6. Accordingly, this application is dismissed. (Sanjay Kumar Dwivedi, J.) Dated: 9th April, 2026 Ajay/
