Subsequently, on 03rd November 2025 in the supplementary statement the first informant has alleged that on 01st November 2025 the present Applicant forcibly committed sexual intercourse with her.

4.

I have heard Learned Counsel for the Applicant and Learned APP for the Respondent-State.

5.

Learned Counsel for the Applicant submits that the Applicant and the first informant were in a live-in relationship for about four years. It is submitted that the false allegations are made with an ulterior motive. 6.

On the other hand, Learned APP for the Respondent-State submits that the Applicant is involved in serious crime of rape. It is submitted that considering the nature of crime, the Applicant may not be released on anticipatory bail.

7.

I have perused the FIR. The FIR shows that the Applicant and the first informant were in a live-in relationship. Prima facie, the allegations in respect of forcible sexual intercourse appears to be an attempt to involve the present Applicant in a serious crime. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicant on anticipatory bail. Hence, the following order:-
