                   under Sections 126(2), 115(2), 303(2), 85, 79, 351(2), 352 and

                   3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

                                3. As per the prosecution case, the petitioner is

                   accused of establishing physical relationship with the victim on

                   the pretext of marriage.

                                4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          the victim were acquainted with each other for a considerable

          period and were engaged in a voluntary and consensual

          relationship. It is contended that the materials collected during

          investigation indicate that the physical relationship between the

          parties was consensual and continued over a period of time. The

          petitioner has no criminal antecedent and undertakes to

          cooperate with the investigation.

                       6. Having considered the rival submissions, the nature

          of allegations and the materials available on record, the prayer

          for anticipatory bail is allowed.

                       7. Accordingly, let the petitioner, above-named, in the

          event of arrest or surrender within four weeks from today in the

          Court below, be released on anticipatory bail on furnishing bail

          bonds of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand) with two sureties of

          where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with

          Naubatpur P.S. Case No. 654 of 2025 subject to the conditions

          as laid down under Section 482(2) of the BNSS.

                       8. It is made clear that any observation made herein is

          prima facie in nature and limited solely for the purpose of

                      shall not be construed as an expression on the merits of the case
