Allegedly, petitioner is said to have established physical relationship with the complainant at behest of marriage and when the informant got pregnant, he refused to solemnize marriage with her.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. No such occurrence as alleged ever took place.
