JUSTICE RAJESH KUMAR VERMA ORAL ORDER 27-03-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State.

Learned counsel for the petitioner is permitted to remove the defect(s), as pointed out by the office, if any, within a period of four weeks from today.

Petitioner seeks bail in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 363, 365, 366A/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 8/17 of the POCSO Act. According to prosecution case, the minor daughter of the informant has been kidnapped by the petitioner accused persons, in connivance with the prime accused Sonu Yadav and she was being trafficked to Nepal and in the meanwhile they were arrested by the Nepal Police.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.4443 of 2022(6) dt.27-03-2023 2/2 petitioner has clean antecedent and he has falsely been implicated in the present case. He further submits that the allegation as alleged in the F.I.R. is false and fabricated. Vide order dated 13.02.2023 a report was called with regard to the present stage of the trial. Report dated 16.02.2023 reveals that out of six charge sheet witnesses, three prosecution witnesses including the informant and victim have already been examined.

The learned Additional Public Prosecutor has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. In view of the report of the learned Trial Court, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with POCSO Case No. 25 of 2021 arising out of Chhatapur P.S. Case No. 107 of 2021 pending in the court of learned Additional District & Sessions Judge-VI-cum Special Sessions Judge POCSO, Supaul.

Prayer is refused.

However, the learned Trial Court is directed to expedite and conclude the trial at the earliest. (Rajesh Kumar Verma, J) Vanisha/- U T
