Heard the learned Advocates appearing for the parties. Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court.

Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference.

Accordingly, the application, being CRAN 1 of 2020, is disposed of.

Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the nature of allegations in the light of the submission that the victim was a major lady at the time of cohabitation, we are inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, we direct that in the event of arrest the petitioner, viz., Azhar Mahmood @ Ajahar Mehmud shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like amount each, to the satisfaction of the arresting officer and subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. This application for anticipatory bail is, thus, disposed of.

All concerned parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court. (Kausik Chanda,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
