she stated that due to some reasons she divorced her husband in the year 2024 and she is staying with her parents. She has been working as a Sales girl in a shop. On 31.01.2026 she got acquaintance with the petitioner, who is working in the adjacent shop. While talking on 02.02.2026, he proposed her and said he would marry her.

The contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is innocent of the said allegations; that the petitioner has been in judicial custody from 22.05.2026; that the petitioner is aged about 22 years; that the victim is a married person and having one male child; that there is no such promise made by the petitioner and he has been falsely implicated in this case; that entire investigation is already completed and hence, he requested this Court to grant regular bail to the petitioner.

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the same and submits that the offence committed by the petitioner is serious and heinous in nature; that investigation is not yet completed; requisition for recording the statement of victim under Section 183 of the BNSS is pending, as such the petitioner is not entitled for grant of bail.
