Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.43685 of 2025(3) dt.10-09-2025 2/2 clearly shows that there was no any pretext on the part of the petitioner to marry the informant rather, both were indulged in love affair and were initially interested in marrying each other but later on friction developed in between them though the petitioner is still ready to marry the informant. It is further submitted that the petitioner has been languishing in jail since 10.04.2025.
