.... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance:

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Dinesh Prasad Verma, Advocate. For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Dashrath Mehta, APP. ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRAKASH CHANDRA JAISWAL ORAL ORDER 11-08-2017 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned APP for the State.

The petitioner seeks bail in Murliganj P.S. Case No. 120 of 2017 registered under Sections 366A, 504 and 506/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

As per the prosecution case, accused persons namely, Raj Kumar Dhankar @ Laddu Dhankar, Vijay Dhankar @ Ajay Dhankar and two other unknown accused persons kidnapped the minor daughter of the informant while she had gone for defecation.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner is a resident of district Purnea and he has no concern with the alleged occurrence. He has been falsely

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.38159 of 2017 (2) dt.11-08-2017 2/2 implicated in the case on mere suspicion. He has no criminal antecedent. He has been languishing in custody since 01.05.2017. From perusal of the impugned order, it appears that the victim in her statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has taken name of the petitioner and others as kidnapper. She has also stated that they had taken her to Katihar on motorcycle and from there to Haryana and they wanted to sell her out.

Considering the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is rejected.

However, learned trial court is directed to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible within nine months from the date of receipt or production of a copy of this order. (Prakash Chandra Jaiswal, J) Mishra/- U T
