objectionable videos and photographs viral by sending them to her home’s mobile phone. It is further alleged that when the informant asked the petitioner to stop doing so, he demanded a sum of Rs.10 lakhs, and thereafter she gave him a gold chain worth Rs.2 lakhs.

¶17

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submitted that petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. From perusal of the FIR, it is apparent that both parties were in relationship for quite some time and enjoyed each other’s company for years together and when the relationship developed between both the parties were major. The relationship was consensual. In this regard, he has placed reliance upon a judgment of the Apex Court in case of Naim Ahmed Vs. State (NCT of Delhi) , reported in 2023 SCC Online SC 89. Learned counsel further submitted that informant extended financial support to the informant when she was in need of the same and when the petitioner later made a request for the return of the said amount, certain differences arose between the parties, which ultimately led to the lodging of the present FIR. Petitioner has clean antecedent.
