Sania. They developed a good friendship, and after about three months, the victim expressed his love upon her and promised that he would marry her. Believing his promise to be genuine, she accepted his proposal. Under the pretext of marriage, they entered into a physical relationship on several occasions over the last three months. It is stated that when she is getting stomach pain, she checked pregnancy test and result was positive. When the same was informed to the petitioner, he completely changed his behavior and he refused to marry her, started avoiding her, abused her in filthy language and pressured her to take abortion. Hence, she requested the police to take necessary action against the complaint. Basing on the same, police registered a case for the aforesaid offences.

alleged by the complainant; that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 05.05.2026; that whatever relationship between the parties is a consensual one; that material part of the investigation is completed and hence, he prays this Court to grant regular bail to the petitioner- accused.

5. On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the same and submits that the offences alleged against the petitioner are grievous in nature; that investigation is still pending and hence, he prays to dismiss the petition. However he informed the Court that the statement of the victim under Section 183 of the BNSS was already recorded.
