Learned counsel for the petitioner is directed to remove the defects within four weeks.

Petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case registered for offence punishable u/s 420, 376, 323, 504/34 of IPC and u/s 4 and 6 of POCSO Act.

Allegedly, the petitioner, on the pretext of marriage, has been exploiting informant's daughter. When he was asked to solemnize marriage, petitioner along with other accused persons assaulted the informant and his family.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. He

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.52396 of 2022(2) dt.13-12-2022 2/2 has been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. It is further submitted that the father of the petitioner is ready to solemnize the marriage with informant's daughter. It is clearly shows that the informant intentionally and knowingly instituted the false case against the petitioner and his family. Compromise petitioner was filed between the parties which is still pending till date. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for bail submitting that the nature of the offence is not fit for the anticipatory bail.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, since the nature of offence is not fit for bail, I am not inclined to enlarge him on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected.

This application is accordingly dismissed.
