The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with Bahadurpur P.S. Case No.160 of 2019 registered under Sections 363 and 366A/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of the Sub Divisional Judicial Magistrate, Darbhanga. The accusation is that when the minor daughter of the informant was in the way of the market, 8 persons, named in the F.I.R., including the petitioner, forcibly kidnapped the daughter of the informant.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that, in fact, the petitioner and his other family members are the co-villagers of the informant but due to dirty village politics, the petitioner and his other family members have falsely been implicated

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.50044 of 2019(2) dt.09-08-2019 2/2 in this case.

It appears from the order dated 09.07.2019 passed in A.B.P. No.1044 of 2019 by the court of the Additional Sessions Judge-VI, Darbhanga, whereby the prayer of the petitioner for grant of privilege of pre-arrest bail has been rejected, that the victim, the daughter of the informant, in her statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, has stated that this petitioner forcibly lifter her and put in the Scorpio vehicle. Having considered the facts and the circumstances of the case and the nature of allegation against the petitioner, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer of the petitioner for grant of anticipatory bail stands rejected. However, the petitioner is directed to surrender before the trial court within four weeks from today and pray for regular bail, which shall be considered by the trial court in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
