4. It is submitted by learned counsel appearing on
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.20770 of 2025(2) dt.23-04-2025 2/3 behalf of the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. As a matter of fact, Petitioner No. 1 is father and Petitioner No. 2 is mother of co-accused Satyam Paswan and they have falsely been implicated in this case merely because they happen to be parents of co-accused Satyam Paswan who is alleged to have kidnapped minor daughter of informant. It is further submitted that the victim in her statement recorded under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S. has denied the factum of kidnapping and has categorically stated that she has solemnized marriage with co-accused Satyam Paswan. The learned trial court has assessed the age of victim as 19 years. Petitioners claim clean antecedents.
5. Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
6. Considering the nature of accusation, statement of victim recorded under Section 183 of the B.N.S.S. and clean antecedents of the petitioners, the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioners is allowed.
