Brief facts of the case are that on 30.04.2026 at about 17:00 hours, a Zero FIR was received from Madhapur Police Station, Cyberabad, from the de-facto and stated that about two years ago, while working in a private company, she became acquainted with the accused, who later proposed to her. Initially, she refused and cut contact, but after some time, he re-established communication and gained her trust. Subsequently, the accused took her to his residence and, on 31.08.2025, forcibly established physical relations with her against her will. Thereafter, she became pregnant, and the accused, along with his mother, allegedly compelled her to undergo an abortion. From January 2026, she stayed with the accused, during which period he repeatedly subjected her to physical relations, harassment, assault, and threats, including blackmail. The accused allegedly deceived her on the false promise of marriage and continued to exploit and intimidate her. Based on the same, the police was registered a case for the said offences.

Heard Sri A.Mukund Raj Gokul, learned counsel for petitioner as well as Sri D.Arun Kumar, learned Additional Public Prosecutor appearing for the respondent-State.
- 3 - 4.
The learned counsel for the petitioner contends that the petitioner is innocent and has been falsely implicated in the present case. It is submitted that the allegations are exaggerated and there is no material to show that any act was committed against the will of the victim. It is further submitted that the relationship between the petitioner and the victim was consensual, and they were in contact for a considerable period. It is also submitted that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 05.05.2026 and that the material part of the investigation has already been completed. Therefore, he prayed the Court to grant bail to him by allowing this criminal petition.
5.
On the other hand, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor opposed the submissions made by the learned counsel for the petitioner, contended that the allegations against the petitioner are serious in nature, involving forcible physical relations, abortion under pressure, and continuous harassment and threats. It is submitted that the victim's statement clearly discloses that the petitioner exploited her on the false promise of marriage and subjected her to physical and mental abuse. The investigation is at a crucial stage, and there is a likelihood that the petitioner may

6.
In the light of the submissions made by both the learned counsel and upon perusal of the material available on record, it appears that the petitioner herein is in jail since 05.05.2026. As seen from the record, it appears that the victim and the petitioner were known to each other since 2024 and were in a relationship, maintaining contact for a considerable period. Further, L.Ws. 1 to 12 have already been examined, and the investigation has also been completed. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of the allegations, the duration of incarceration, the progress in the investigation, this Court finds it appropriate to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to the following conditions:
