been implicated in the present case. He further submitted that the informant herself has admitted that she had developed relationship with the petitioner on ' Instagram ' and with her own consent, she had met the petitioner and when the petitioner refused to marry with her, a false case has been lodged against the petitioner. The petitioner has clean antecedent. On these grounds, petitioner seeks to be released on pre-arrest bail.

¶19

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail.

¶20

Considering the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, as well as, having perused the case diary, I find that the medical report has not supported the version of the informant and the informant herself admitted that she was willing to marry with the petitioner after developing relationship on ' Instagram '. The petitioner has clean antecedent. I am of the opinion that petitioner has, prima facie , made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

¶21

The petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of his/her arrest or surrender before the learned District Court within a period of four weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/(Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like
