4   13-05-2026         1. Heard learned Counsel for the petitioner and learned

                            Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

                       2.   The petitioner seeks regular bail in connection with

                            Mahila Police Station Case No. 44 of 2025, dated

                            10.10.2025, registered for the offences punishable under

                            Sections 69/89/351(2)/3(5) of the Bhartiya Nyaya

                            Sanhita, 2023.

                       3.   The prosecution case, as per the First Information Report,

                            is that the informant lives alone in her house and the

                            petitioner, who is known to the informant for the last

                            three years and is the neighbour of the informant, on the

                            pretext of marriage, established physical relationship with

                            her. On 10th April, 2025, when the informant came to

                            know that she is pregnant, she informed the elder brother

                   of the petitioner, who on the assurance of marriage, got

                   her pregnancy aborted on 01.05.2025. Thereafter, the

                   petitioner refused to marry and also threatened to kill the

                   informant.

              4.   Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits that the

                   petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in

                   this case due to village politics and to extract money from

                   the petitioner. He further submits that the relationship

                   between the petitioner and the informant continued for a

                   fairly long period (three years), the relationship between

                   the petitioner and the informant was consensual in nature

                   and both were major at the time of establishing physical

                   relationship. Inasmuch as the informant is aged about 37

                   years, which would be evident from the matriculation

                   certificate of the informant (Annexure 2). He further

                   submits that there is no specific allegation in the First

                   Information Report disclosing the fact that the intention

                   of the petitioner from very inspection was not to marry

                   the informant. He next submits that the petitioner is in

                   custody since 18.11.2025 and charge sheet has been

                   submitted against the petitioner, as such, there is no

                   likelihood that the petitioner will abscond and/or tamper

                               with the evidence.

                          5.   Having heard learned Counsel for the parties and taking

                               into consideration the materials on record and the fact that

                               the petitioner is in custody since 18.11.2025, there is no

                               specific allegation against the petitioner that from the

                               very inception, the petitioner’s intention was not to marry

                               the informant, the relationship between the two continued

                               for fairly long period of time and charge sheet has been

                               submitted against him, I am inclined to grant regular bail

                               to the petitioner.

                          6.   This application is, accordingly, allowed.

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

                               furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand) with

                               two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of

                               learned Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Munger, in

                               connection with Mahila Police Station Case No. 44 of

                               2025.



                                                                          (Anil Kumar Sinha, J.)
