Mr. Harish Kumar For the Opposite Party/s :
Mr. Mritunjay Kumar Nirala For the Informant : Mr. Nawnit Kumar Tiwary ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 05-12-2023 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned A.P.P. for the State assisted by learned counsel for the informant.
2. The petitioners apprehend their arrest in a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 363 & 366A of the Indian Penal Code.
3. The petitioners in association of other co-accused are said to have kidnapped the daughter of the informant.
4. It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that no such occurrence as alleged ever took place. Petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. The allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted that from bare perusal
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30458 of 2023(7) dt.05-12-2023 2/3 of the F.I.R. it is clear that the entire case is moving around the F.I.R. named accused Md. Asif. There is inordinate and abnormal delay of four days in lodging the F.I.R. without assigning any plausible and convincing reason for the said delay. It is further submitted that as a matter of fact, informant's daughter eloped with Md. Asif due to love affair between them but due to ulterior motive the petitioners have been made scapegoat in this case. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent as mentioned in para-3 of this application.
5. Learned APP for the State assisted by learned counsel for the informant vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.
6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case and on bare perusal of the case diary, I find that there is no specific allegation against the petitioners. From perusal of para-62 of the case diary, it further transpires that victim is not minor. In such view of the matter, let the above named petitioners, be released on bail, in the event of their arrest or surrender before the learned Court below within a period of six weeks from today, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) each with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned lower Court where the case is pending/successor Court in connection with Manjhi P.S. Case
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.30458 of 2023(7) dt.05-12-2023 3/3 No.373 of 2022, subject to the condition as laid down under Section 438 (2) of the Cr.P.C.
