The petitioner's counsel argued that there is no suppression of facts and innocence has been claimed. It was further argued that the victim is around 18 years of age and the petitioner and victim were good friends with a long relationship. Considering that the charge was framed in August 2023 but no witnesses have been examined till date and the statement of the victim recorded under section 164, the court was inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail on furnishing a bail bond of Rs. 10,000
