1. The applicant has preferred this application for grant of anticipatory bail as he apprehends his arrest in connection with Crime No.126/2020, registered at Police Station Marwahi, District GaurelaPendra-Marwahi for offences punishable under Section 376 of the IPC.

2. The applicant has sexually exploited the prosecutrix on promise to marry.

3. It is argued that the prosecutrix is a married woman having two children and the present complaint has been lodged because her brother had seen them conversing in a public place.

4. The prosecutrix herself has lodged the report against the applicant alleging that she has been regularly sexually exploited on promise to

MCRCA No. 1624 of 2020 marry but later on the applicant refused to marry her. There is nothing in the case diary, at this stage, that the complaint is false and concocted.

5. Considering the nature of allegations, I am not inclined to release the applicant on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the application is rejected. Sd/- Judge (Prashant Kumar Mishra) Barve
