Mr. Sanjay Kumar Singh, Advocate ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ANJANI KUMAR SHARAN ORAL ORDER 06-12-2021 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned APP for the State.

The petitioners apprehend their arrest in Dagarua P.S. Case No.16 of 2020, registered for the offences punishable under Sections 366(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code. The informant alleged that his daughter was kidnapped by the petitioners for the purpose of marriage. Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are innocent and have falsely been implicated in the present case. It is further submitted that there is love affair between daughter of the informant and son of petitioner no.1 and due to which the petitioners are made accused in the present

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.14072 of 2021(2) dt.06-12-2021 2/2 case. It is also submitted that the petitioners have got no criminal antecedent as stated in para 3 of the bail petition. Learned APP for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners and submitted that the victim girl has supported the prosecution case in her statement recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C.

Having considered the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on anticipatory bail. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners is rejected.

However, the petitioners are directed to surrender before the learned court below within a period of six weeks from today and the learned court below shall consider the prayer for regular bail of the petitioners preferably on the same day without being prejudiced from the order of this Court.
