4. Having heard the learned counsel for the parties, this Court finds that the victim is about 22 years of age and is therefore major.

The material available indicates that what essentially appears to be a failed consensual relationship has subsequently been given the color of a criminal prosecution against the applicant. Furthermore, there is no evidence on record to indicate any forced termination or induction of abortion of the victim.
5. Without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, prima facie the Court is of the view that the applicant has made out a case for bail. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed.
