ABA/1227/2024 Vijay Kumar --Applicant Versus State Of Uttarakhand --Respondent Hon'ble Alok Mahra, J.
Mr. D.C.S. Rawat, learned counsel for the applicant.
Mr. Deepak Bisht, learned Deputy Advocate General for the State of Uttarakhand.
Mr. Mohit Kumar, learned counsel for the complainant.
2. The applicant- Vijay Kumar, is before this Court seeking anticipatory bail in connection with FIR/Case Crime No. 0500 of 2024, registered at Police Station Bazpur, District Udham Singh Nagar, for the offences punishable under Sections 115(2), 351(2), 352 and 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.
3. Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned State Counsel. Perused the record.
4. As per the allegations made in the FIR, the complainant was in a relationship with the applicant since March, 2018. It is alleged that the applicant, on several occasions, established physical relations with the complainant on the false promise of marriage. However, he subsequently refused to marry her, whereupon the present FIR came to be lodged.
5. The FIR also named other family members of the applicant. However, upon completion of the investigation, the Investigating Officer submitted the charge-sheet only against the present applicant. No material was found against the other named family members, and they were exonerated during the course of investigation.
6.
Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant was granted ad-interim anticipatory bail by the Coordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 09.12.2024. It is further

2026:UHC:5624 submitted that the applicant has duly complied with all the conditions contained in the said order and has not misused the liberty so granted. It is, therefore, prayed that the ad-interim protection granted to the applicant be made absolute.
7. Learned State Counsel opposed the anticipatory bail application.
8. Having considered the
submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties, particularly the fact that the applicant has been enjoying the benefit of ad-interim anticipatory bail since 09.12.2024 without any misuse of liberty; that the applicant and the informant were admittedly in a relationship for more than six years and their physical relationship was prima facie consensual; and that during the pendency of the investigation, the charge-sheet has already been filed without the arrest of the applicant being considered necessary, this Court is of the view that no useful purpose would be served by curtailing the liberty of the applicant at this stage.
9. Accordingly, the ad-interim anticipatory bail granted to the applicant vide order dated 09.12.2024 is hereby made absolute. The applicant shall continue to remain on anticipatory bail subject to the conditions already imposed by this Court vide order dated 09.12.2024. There shall be no requirement of furnishing fresh bail bonds, as the applicant has already furnished the requisite personal bond and sureties to the satisfaction of the Court concerned.
10. Accordingly, the Anticipatory Bail Application stands disposed of.
