                                       ORAL ORDER

                   for the State and learned counsel for the informant.

                                 2. The petitioner seeks bail in connection with

                   Jehanabad Mahila P.S. Case No. 07 of 2026 registered for the

                   Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

                                 3. The allegation against the petitioner is of

                   establishing sexual relationship with the informant on the pretest

                   of marriage.

                                 4. From the FIR, it appears that the petitioner and the

                   informant are majors who had entered into a consensual

                   relationship and when the relation turned sour, this FIR has been

                   filed.

                                 5. The petitioner is in custody since 21.01.2026.

                                                       2/2




                                  6. Considering the fact that the petitioner and the

                     informant are majors and were in a consensual relationship for

                     over five years and also the fact that the petitioner has clean

                     antecedent, this application is allowed.

                                  7. Let the petitioner, above named, be released on bail

                     on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two

                     sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned

                                  8. It is, however, clarified that the observations made

                     herein are limited to the adjudication of the present bail

                     application and shall not prejudice the case of the petitioner at
