The submission of the learned counsel for the applicant is that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that the prosecutrix is aged about 21 years. In the statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. she has stated that she knew the applicant for the past six years and she used to talk on phone. In the year 2016, she got married and the applicant had called her and insisted for marriage and when it was refused by her he had consumed poison then the victim again started talking to him. According to the prosecutrix, on 30.06.2018 at about 1 A.M. when she was sleeping outside the house the applicant committed rape on her and he was seen by the villagers. Lastly, she has stated that she wants that applicant should marry her. In the light of the aforesaid statement, it is argued that the victim is a consenting party and in order to exert pressure on the applicant for marrying her she has lodged the false first information report. There is no early prospect of conclusion of trial. So, the applicant, who is in jail since 31.06.2018, having no criminal history to his credit, deserves to be released on bail.
