Tis Hazari Court, Delhi<\/span>: While deciding a bail application, Kamini Lau, J. granted anticipatory in a case where the complainant-girl was a major and was held to be in a consensual relationship and thus, consent forms part of the subject matter in the said case. The Court granted bail since the accused joined the investigations and therefore, his custodial interrogation was not warranted.The applicant\/accused got into a relationship with the prosecutrix\/complainant after getting acquainted at work. The applicant had also introduced the complainant to his parents, and they approved of her. Subsequently, since March 2021, they started developing sexual relations on various occasions at different places like his residence, office and different hotels. The complainant alleged that these relations were non-consensual, and she was coerced based on the false promise of marriageby the applicant. The applicant contended that due to professional and personal issues he had been unable to marry the complainant, but she was pressurizing him to marry her. However, the complainant contended that after their last encounter on 11-06-2022, the applicant started ignoring her and avoided all communication with her. Pursuant to this,, the complainant filed a case against the applicant under Sections 354-D<\/a> and 376<\/a> Penal Code, 1860<\/a> (\u2018IPC’). The applicant filed the instant anticipatory bail application under Section 438<\/a> Criminal Procedure Code<\/a> (\u2018CrPC’)<\/p>\n

The Court vide order dated 12-07-2022 granted interim protection to the applicant\/accused and directed them to file a detailed report at the next hearing. Thus, a detailed report was filed by the Investigating officer who admitted that the applicant\/accused Rahul Sharma joined investigations on 13-07-2022.<\/p>\n

The Court observed that there is rarely any cogent or tangible proof to establish\/ prove the existence of a criminal intention which has to be gathered, deciphered or inferred from circumstances.<\/p>\n

Placing reliance on Uday<\/i> v. State of Karnataka<\/i> (2003) 4 SCC 46<\/a>, and Jayanti Rani Panda<\/i> v. State<\/i> 1983 SCC OnLine Cal 98<\/a>, the Courtobserved that \u201cit is evident that there is no straitjacket formula which can be evolved for determining whether the consent was given under a misconception of fact or not and it has to be deciphered from the facts and circumstances of each case.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The court concluded to note that, according to the applicant, he was ready and willing to marry the complainant, but it was the family of the complainant who had an issue with an inter-caste marriage. Additionally, the applicant joined the investigation and therefore, his custodial interrogation is not required , thus, the court granted anticipatory bail to the applicant on a bail bond of Rs. 1 lakh subject to the conditions as mentioned in the order.<\/p>\n
