¶6

Heard learned counsel for the applicant, learned AGA for the State and perused the record.

¶7

In the prosecution case, it is alleged that the informant aged about 20 years has been subjected to physical relations by the applicant on the pretext of marriage and when asked to marry, the applicant has refused to do so.

¶8

Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the victim is major and is a consenting party. The alleged promise to marry made by the applicant is false. He next submits that while giving statement under Section 183 BNSS, the victim has changed the prosecution version and has made material improvement alleging demand of dowry for marriage. There is lack of corroborative material in support of the prosecution case.

¶9

It is further submitted that the applicant has no criminal history and he is languishing in jail since 8.7.2025. Charge-sheet in the case has been filed. There is no possibility of the applicant of fleeing away after being released from jail or tampering with the witnesses. In case the applicant is enlarged on bail, he shall not misuse the liberty of bail.

¶10

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail but could not dispute the aforesaid facts as argued by the learned counsel for the applicant.

¶11

On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record, the improvement made by the victim in the statements under Sections 180 and 183 BNSS, lack of corroborative material so also the fact that the applicant has no criminal history; he is languishing in jail since 8.7.2025; charge-sheet in the case has been filed and without expressing any opinion on the merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail.

¶12

Accordingly, the bail application is allowed .
