The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in connection with Barauli P.S. Case No. 151 of 2015, registered for offences punishable under Sections 366A, 363/34 of the Indian Penal code. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that his name has been brought into the present F.I.R. due to malicious intent as he is the Ex-Sarpanch of the village. He further submits that the petitioner has no role to play in the disappearance of minor girl.

However, considering the fact that the minor girl has not yet been recovered, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner, which is accordingly rejected. It is made clear that if the petitioner can facilitate the
