NILU AGRAWAL ORAL ORDER 12-07-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

Petitioner seeks bail in connection with Gogri P.S. Case No. 225/17 for offences punishable under Section 363 of the Indian Penal Code.

The prosecution case, as lodged by the informant, is that his daughter Soni Kumari had gone for computer coaching on 09.05.2017 but did not return thereafter. It is also alleged that one Priti Kumari had also gone for coaching and he received information that she also has not returned.

It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is innocent, not named in the First Information Report and has falsely been implicated in the aforesaid case out of being in inimical terms with the informant. He submits that the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.31426 of 2017 (2) dt.12-07-2017 2/2 victim girl Soni Kumari in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. has not named the petitioner, rather she has stated that because she had a fight with her parents she ran away from her house. It is submitted that another victim Priti Kumari also in her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. has not named the petitioner about commission of any offence. It is further submitted that petitioner is ready to cooperate during trial and undertakes not to abscond.

However, learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Be that as it may, let petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-(Ten Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Khagaria in connection with Gogri P.S. Case No. 225/2017, subject to the condition that petitioner will cooperate with the trial and appear before the learned court below as and when required during trial and failure to appear on three consecutive dates without assigning any reason will entail cancellation of his bail bonds.
