Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner is a clean antecedent and the informant alleges that petitioner entered her house on 11.07.2025 at 10:30 p.m while she was sleeping with her parents who are dumb and started abusing and assaulting and tried to molest her mother. On protest, the petitioner acted inappropriately with the informant but she locked the petitioner in a room and raised an alarm when Santosh Raut brother of the petitioner along with neighbours came and opened the door and petitioner fled away.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the informant. It is further submitted that petitioner and the informant are neighbour and are having dispute relating to passage. It is next submitted that though in the FIR, it is alleged that petitioner does business of liquor but then petitioner is a person with clean antecedent. It is also submitted that informant in the FIR alleges that earlier also petitioner molested her and her mother but then no FIR came to be instituted. It is submitted that age of the mother of the informant is 49 years while petitioner is a young boy aged about 26 years, as such, it does not appear probable that petitioner would have indulged in such an act.
It is further submitted that had the petitioner been involved in the occurrence then definitely the neighbours would not have helped him as it has been alleged in the FIR that informant locked the petitioner inside the room when his brother along with neighbours came and opened the door. It is further submitted that petitioner will not abscond rather will cooperate in the investigation to prove his innocence.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner.
