The brief facts of the case are that the complainant, reported an incident on January 28, 2025, stating that she met G. Sunil, 26, while working at Big Basket Godown in Kandlakoya. Sunil proposed to her, and she accepted. They started living together in Laxmi Nagar, Gundla Pochampalli, and had a physical relationship based on Sunil's promise to marry her. However, when the complainant asked Sunil about marriage, he cited his mother's health issues. Recently, the complainant discovered that Sunil was engaged to another woman in October 2024 and planned to marry her. When confronted, Sunil claimed he would cancel the marriage, but the complainant realized he intended to marry the other woman instead.

3.

Heard Sri G. Sumanth Kumar, learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner, and Sri Syed Yasar Mamoon, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing on behalf of the respondent-State.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the allegations in the FIR are vague and lack corroboration, and the relationship between the petitioner and the complainant was consensual. The delay in filing the FIR suggests afterthought and mala fide intent. As the material part fo the investigation is completed, no evidence tampering is anticipated, and the petitioner undertakes to cooperate and abide by court conditions. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant pre-arrest bail to the petitioner by allowing this criminal petition.

5.

On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor vehemently opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for petitioner, stating that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are serious in nature. At this stage, granting of pre-arrest bail to the petitioner does not arise.

Therefore, he prayed the Court to dismiss the Criminal Petition.

6.

After considering the submissions made by both learned counsel and reviewing the material available on record, it appears that the petitioner is in jail since 30.01.2025. As seen from the record, the material part of the investigation is completed and 14 witnesses were examined. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court deems it fit to grant bail to the petitioner subject to the following conditions: i.

The petitioner shall execute a personal bond for a sum of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand only), with two sureties for a like sum each to the satisfaction of the learned IX Additional Judicial Magistrate of First Class, Medchal.
