submitted that, the applicant is biological father of said two
children. In this regard, affidavit filed by the victim. Complaint is
filed forcefully at the instance of husband of the victim. Complaint
is filed belatedly and for that, no explanation is given. Only with a
view to settle the score as the victim wants to live with the
applicant, she voluntarily came with the applicant. Therefore,
custodial interrogation at this stage is not necessary. Besides, the
applicant is available during the course of investigation and will
not flee from justice. In view of the above, the applicant may be
granted anticipatory bail.
