The allegation of kidnapping is upon the petitioner.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits, that the victim is minor and as such the bail of the petitioner may be rejected.

In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at present, but he may renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge in the said case.

With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
