4. Vide order dated 21.03.2025, case diary along with statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was called for. The same has been produced. I have perused the statement of the victim, from which it appears that victim has admitted that she was in love relationship with one Md. Mustaque, who is son of petitioners no.1 and 2. She has also admitted that she has willingly gone along with co-accused Md. Mustaque. Petitioners no.3 and 4 are own brothers of Md. Mustaque and sons of petitioner nos.1 and 2.

5. Learned APP for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of pre-arrest bail to the extent that victim was minor on the date of alleged offence and recording her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C./183 BNSS.

6. Having heard the rival submissions made on behalf of the parties, I find that petitioners no.1 and 2 are father and mother and petitioners no.3 and 4 are own brothers of coaccused Md. Mustaque with whom the victim had married, I am of the opinion that petitioners have, prima facie, made out a case to be released on pre-arrest bail.

7. The petitioners, above named, are directed to be released on pre-arrest bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the Court below within a period of four weeks
