4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has committed no offense. He has been falsely implicated in this case. He also submits that from perusal of the FIR, it is clear that the occurrence took place on 14.06.2024, whereas the FIR has been lodged on 19.09.2024 after more than three months, and the delay in lodging the FIR has not been explained. Learned counsel further submits that the FIR appears to be in two parts. In the latter part, it is alleged that the petitioner and his family members refused to marry the victim, and on that account, the present case has been instituted. He further submits that it is highly improbable that a girl will marry a man who has raped her. He also submits that during the course of the investigation, the victim has denied medical examination, which also falsifies the allegation. Moreover, a statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in judicial custody since 19.09.2025.
5. The application for bail is opposed by learned APP for the State.
6. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is
