4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. There is no reason as to why the informant waited for a period of six months and did not even lodge a single complaint in the past. It was the complainant who was insisting for marriage with the petitioner and on the petitioner refusing to marry her that the instant FIR has been registered. The petitioner is a respectable person and has no criminal antecedent.

5. The application for bail is opposed by learned A.P.P. for the State.

6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the allegations against the petitioner in the FIR and specially the allegation of the petitioner having made a false account in the informant's name, having put up obscene photographs and of making the same viral, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail and the application is rejected.

7. The petitioner is directed to surrender in the learned Court below within a period of four weeks.
