CRL OP(MD). No.5613 of 2023

4. From perusal of statement of the victim recorded under section 164 of Cr.P.C, it is seen that the petitioner herein had physical relationship with the victim girl due to which she became pregnant. Only thereafter the victim came to understand that the petitioner was a married man. That apart the petitioner has also given her jewels weighing 26 grams to the petitioner on the pretext of marriage. Therefore the petitioner has committed very serious offence against the victim girl hence this court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Hence the petition stands dismissed.
