marriage. In April 2023, he secured a government nursing job at Area Hospital, Nalgonda, and continued to promise to marry her. However, in April 2025, he started avoiding her citing family issues. On 24.05.2025, she visited the hospital to meet him, but he was unavailable. Over a phone call, he told her they should separate and revealed he had already married another woman. She then realized he had deceived her. Basing on the same, present crime was registered.

4.

Learned counsel for the petitioner/accused submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence and he was falsely implicated in the aforesaid crime. He further submitted that petitioner has never given any false promise to marry the victim, hence the ingredients under Section 69 of BNS are not attracted. He further submitted that petitioner was arrested on 04.06.2025 and since then he is in judicial custody and the entire investigation is completed except filing of chargesheet. He further submitted that petitioner is working as a Nursing Officer in Government Area Hospital, Nalgonda and the petitioner is not having any criminal antecedents and therefore, he may be granted bail as he is ready and

willing to cooperate with the investigation and abide by the conditions that may be imposed by this Court. 5.

Per contra, learned Additional Public Prosecutor submits that the petitioner/accused committed grave offence and the de facto complainant in her complaint specifically mentioned that petitioner has given a false promise to marry her and developed physical relationship with her and the investigation is under progress and if the petitioner is enlarged on bail at this stage, he will interfere with the investigation and influence the witnesses. Hence, he prays to dismiss this criminal petition.

6.
