This is an application for grant of anticipatory bail in connection with Warishnagar P.S. Case No. 10 of 2017 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 366(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

The case of the prosecution is that the daughter of the informant had left the house at 3:30 P.M. on 30.01.2017 without informing anyone and when she did not return for a long time, the informant and his wife had enquired from the neighbours whereupon it came to knowledge that the petitioner had taken away the victim girl for the purposes of marrying her. The learned counsel for the petitioner has referred to

Patna High Court Cr.Misc.
