2. Facts in brief, germane are as follows:

The second respondent is the complainant and the petitioner is the sole accused. The petitioner and the complainant claim to have been in love since 2018 and have had physical relationship as well. It transpires that the complainant was married to one Ramakrishna Kadligondi on 29-06-2021, at the time when the petitioner and the complainant were still in relationship. The marriage between the complainant and Ramakrishna Kadligondi appears to have floundered. The floundering of the relationship leads the complainant walking out of the matrimonial house and staying back with her parents. It is at that time, the petitioner is again alleged to have lured the complainant in continuing the relationship that they had earlier. It is alleged that, on the promise that in the event the complainant would come out of the marriage, he would get married to the complainant and again had physical relation
