Judgment / Order

27/01/2021 This anticipatory bail application has been filed by the petitioner apprehending his arrest in connection with F.I.R. No.212/2020, Police Station Thawla, District Nagaur for the offences under Sections 376 (2)(n), 384 & 354-D of the IPC. I have heard and considered the submissions advanced by counsel Shri Sheetal Kumbhat representing the petitioner and Shri Farzand Ali, AAG, assisted by Shri Mukesh Trivedi, PP and Shri Surendra Choudhary, counsel for the complainant.

Shri Kumbhat points out that the case at hand is of prima facie consensual relationship between the petitioner and the complainant who is an adult woman. He submits that the complainant herself was the aggressive partner in the relationship. In this regard, he has drawn the Court’s attention to some photographs, representing intense intimacy between the complainant and the petitioner. The Court was presented with the series of WhatsApp chats exchanged between the petitioner and the complainant as per which, the lady tried to invite the petitioner to her house but he resisted. Shri Kumbhat thus, urges that the petitioner deserves indulgence of pre-arrest bail in this case.
