For the Petitioners :

Mr.Md. Anisur Rahman, Advocate For the State :

Renu Kumari, Addl Public Prosecutor For the informant : Mr.Devendra Kumar, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE PRABHAT KUMAR SINGH ORAL ORDER 24-10-2019 Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary.

Petitioners, father and son respectively, are in custody since 25.4.2019 in a case registered for the offence under sections 363, 366A, 506 and 34 of the Indian Penal Code on the allegation that they along with two other accused persons, all named in the FIR, enticed away informant's 13 years old daughter on the pretext of performing her marriage with one Raja Singh. Victim is still traceless.

Learned counsel appearing for the petitioners submits that the allegation against the petitioners is motivated as in fact it was co-accused Raja Singh, with whom informant's daughter eloped and solemnized marriage at her own sweet will. He

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.41834 of 2019(4) dt.24-10-2019 2/2 submits that the petitioners are merely family members of the said Raja Singh who lives separate with them. Learned counsel for the informant opposes the prayer for bail pointing out that the victim is still traceless and petitioner no.1 has got criminal antecedent as he is also an accused in one another case of similar nature. Considering the nature of the allegation as well as the fact that the victim is still traceless, I am not inclined to admit the petitioners to the bail. The bail application of both the petitioners is accordingly rejected.
