4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is quite innocent and has committed no offence. No such occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. He has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is totally false and based on concocted facts. It is further submitted that petitioner is a student having clean antecedents as mentioned in para-3 of this application.

5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the victim in her statement recorded u/s 164 of the Cr.P.C. stated that the petitioner forcefully established physical relation with her and took obscene video and photograph of her.

6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case as well as the nature of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail. The prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

7. Accordingly, the application stands dismissed. (Anjani Kumar Sharan, J) annpurna/- U T
