2. The petitioner has prayed for bail in connection with Bettiah (Muffasil) P.S. Case No. 320 of 2025 registered for the offence punishable under Section 69 of the B.N.S., 2023.
3. The case of the prosecution in short is that the informant and the petitioner were on talking terms, and after that, they got physical. It is further alleged that from 31.05.2025 to 03.06.2025, the petitioner established physical relationship with the informant, and after that, he blocked her. Further allegation is that when the informant went to complain, she was being abused. When she tried to go to P.S., the mukhiya assured her that he would get the matter settled. The petitioner did not

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and has committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. He also submits that from perusal of the FIR, it is clear that the relationship started between the parties was not forceful, and the last physical relationship was on 03.06.2025, but the FIR has been lodged on 11.06.2025, and the only explanation is that after the celebration of Bakrid, the case will be filed. It simply means that the informant herself was not considering the act as an offense. He further submits that Annexure-2 will go to show that earlier also this informant had made a settlement with a boy for Rs. 1,70,000/- and her wish was also to bring down the petitioner to her terms. Moreover, a statement has been made in para 3 of the petition that petitioner has no criminal antecedent and he is languishing in judicial custody since 27.08.2025.
