HON'BLE VIVEK KUMAR SINGH, J.

1. Heard Sri Ashutosh Kumar Shukla, learned counsel for the applicant, learned A.G.A for the State and perused the record.

1. The present application has been filed on behalf of the applicant in Case Crime No. 678 of 2024, under Sections 115(2), 69 of B.N.S., Police Station- Gulariha, District- Gorakhpur, with a prayer to grant him anticipatory bail.

1. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant is absolutely innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case; he has nothing to do with the alleged offence in spite of that the police are trying to arrest the applicant. It is further contended by the learned counsel that a false and frivolous first information report was lodged by the father of the victim, wherein it is alleged that the victim was subjected to rape on the false promise of marriage. It is admitted case of the victim that she was a major girl, about 21 years of age and that she had been in touch with the applicant for the last seven years and during this period they enjoyed a consensual relationship. It is next submitted that the FIR is a result of broken relationship and the same was lodged when the relationship turned sour between them. The version of the victim kept changing and does not inspire much confidence to prosecution case.
