As per allegation in the F.I.R., the petitioner is alleged to have abducted the minor daughter of the informant on the pretext of solemnization of marriage. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that victim has not supported the prosecution case during trial in her deposition (annexed as Annexure P/6 to this bail application). She has deposed that no such occurrence has ever took place with her as alleged against the petitioner. She has flatly denied the allegation against him. Moreover, petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since17.01.2024. Learned A.P.P. appearing on behalf of the State vehemently opposed the prayer of bail.

Having heard learned counsel for the parties and taking into consideration the facts and circumstances of the case as well as period of custody, this Court is inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail.
