As per the FIR, the informant has alleged that his 16 years old daughter has been taken away by the petitioner herein along with all the certificates and documents. The informant further alleged that having come to know about the relationship, the girl was restrained from talking to the petitioner, still the present incident happened.

2/4 It was earlier submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that he is a student pursuing studies in 'Varanasi', and the informant family wanted to get the victim girl married to him and upon refusal by the family members, the present FIR was lodged.

Earlier, the argument advanced by learned counsel for the petitioner was that the girl eloped with the other person and as such the case was adjourned enabling him to bring it on record.

A supplementary affidavit has been filed in which at paragraph 3 it has been stated that the victim girl eloped with one Anil Paswan son of Ghura Paswan, Resident of villageMohania, ward No. 7, P.S.-Mohania, District-Kaimur at Bhabua.
