The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Govindganj (Areraj) P.S. Case No.67 of 2022, registered for the offence punishable under Sections 363, 365, 34 of the Indian Penal Code and section 08 of POCSO Act.
The allegation against the petitioner is that he alongwith other co-accused persons kidnapped the daughter of the informant.
It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioner that petitioner is quite innocent and have committed no offence. He has been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. There is no specific overt act against the
Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.47876 of 2022(3) dt.20-02-2023 2/2 petitioner. He has been made accused in the present case merely on the basis of suspicion. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent. Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail and submits that the victim has supported the prosecution case in her statement recorded u/s 164 of Cr.PC. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on his behalf is hereby rejected. Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
