It is submitted by Mr. Konwar that from the contents of the FIR itself it is seen that there was a consensual relationship between accused no. 1 and the informant in this case and since last 4 years they were in relationship. However, it is a fact that there was a love relationship between the accused no. 1 and the victim and there was a talk of marriage also.

Pursuant to interim protection granted by this Court the petitioner has appeared before the I.O. and his statement has been recorded. 6. Having regard to the above as well as the nature of the allegations, custodial interrogation on the petitioner may not be necessary accordingly, prayer for pre-arrest bail is allowed and the order of interim pre-arrest bail dated 27.05.2026, is hereby made absolute, under the same terms and conditions. 7.
