FAREED vs State of U.P. — 449/2026

Case Summary: 449/2026 - Fareed v. State of U.P. The court granted bail to accused Fareed in a second bail application (dated 25.03.2026) involving charges under IPC sections 319(2), 316(2), 69, 115(2), 351, 352 and SC/ST Act section 3(2)(v). The court found that the complainant and accused had been in a consensual live-in relationship since 2023, with evidence showing mutual understanding and court marriage plans. Citing Supreme Court precedent that "prolonged period of relationship during which sexual relations continued is sufficient to conclude there was never an element of force or deceit," the court rejected claims of marriage deception and exploitation, noting the complainant was a mature 23-year-old woman capable of sound judgment. Bail was granted on ₹50,000 personal bond with conditions prohibiting contact with the complainant and social media harassment.
