Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.40350 of 2025(2) dt.04-07-2025 2/3 consequences.
4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners has submitted that petitioners are innocent and have committed no offence. They have falsely been implicated in this case. It has further been submitted that the victim boy was recovered and he has given his statement that he was being assaulted by the petitioners. He was kept in a room from where he managed to escape. It has also been submitted that the informant has taken Rs. 80,000/- from them and he has issued a forged visa and the petitioners were demanding the said amount that is why they have been framed in this case. From the statement of the victim which has been recorded in the order of the trial Court, it transpires that the kidnapped boy was recovered and he has only alleged of assault. Petitioners are having no criminal antecedent.
5. Learned APP appearing for the State has opposed the prayer of bail of the petitioners.
6. From the above submissions, it is clear that there is some dispute between the parties regarding the cash which has been handed over by the petitioners to the informant.
