In this case, an FIR was lodged by the victim in which it was alleged that the accused and the complainant had relations since the year 2021 and the applicant on the false pretext of marriage, made physical relations with her and ultimately when she repeatedly asked the accused to marry, then, he threatened her with dire consequences. Subsequently, the FIR was lodged. 5.
