Penal Code and section 3/4 of the D.P.Act.

the promise of marriage. It is then submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the allegation against the petitioner is false. It is further

submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that admittedly, the victim is an adult lady and it is apparently a case of consensual sexual relationship

between the petitioner and the victim. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner there is delay in lodging the complaint in the court

which upon being forwarded to police under section 156 (3) Cr.P.C, this FIR has been registered. It is further submitted by learned counsel for the

petitioner that the petitioner has been in jail custody since 08.08.2020 as mentioned in paragraph 7 of the bail application and the petitioner is ready and

willing to co-operate with the trial of the case hence, the petitioner may be released on bail.

Learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. Considering the facts of the case, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on

furnishing bail bond of Rs. 25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned CJM,

Chatra in connection with Tandwa P.S. case no. 97 of 2020 subject to the condition that the petitioner will co-operate with the trial of the case.
