Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.23015 of 2015 (3) dt.18-09-2015 2/2 9708149773.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that petitioner was driver of the informant. Some wages were lying due and that is why the petitioner has been falsely implicated in the case. Even the call details do not show that petitioner ever called informant from his mobile and demanded any ransom. The victim girl was recovered from the possession of the petitioner and the mobile from which ransom was demanded was also recovered from the possession of the petitioner. The sister of the petitioner also disclosed that his brother came with a child and disclosed that the child was daughter of his friend. Considering the facts aforesaid, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the same is rejected. (Prabhat Kumar Jha, J) BKS/- U T
