4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing for petitioner that present FIR was lodged after about two and half years of the first occurrence i.e., date 05.02.2023 as the FIR was lodged on 15.07.2025, which itself makes the occurrence doubtful. It is submitted that in fact the informant was in love with this petitioner and out of said love they solemnized marriage at Maa Shyama Mandir Nyas Samiti Darbhanga, but as informant was apprehensive that the petitioner might not accept her as a married wife the present false implication was raised.
5. Arguing further, it is submitted that the informant prior to lodging FIR lodged a case before Mahila Helpline on 17.03.2025 complaining domestic violence and also demand of dowry as raised against petitioner and his family members. It is pointed out that matter seems now compromised in view of Annexure-4, where petitioner accepted the informant as wife and they are living happily. It is also admitted by learned counsel that the petitioner solemnized marriage with informant and she is legally wedded wife of the petitioner. In support of the same learned counsel referred the photographs at
