2. The petitioner apprehends arrest in Minapur P.S. Case No. 82 of 2018 dated 03.03.2018 instituted under Sections 365/366A of the Indian Penal Code.

3. The allegation against the petitioner is that she had allured the daughter of the informant, aged 14 years and when the petitioner went to her house, she made her to talk on mobile and

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.58098 of 2018 dt.12-12-2018 2/3 ensured that she will return within one week but when she did not come, F.I.R. was lodged by the informant.

4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the parties live in the same ancestral house and are agnates as the petitioner is the wife of the younger brother of the husband of the informant. Learned counsel submitted that no details of any mobile number have been given so as to establish the fact that the petitioner had made the informant talk on mobile and had assured that the girl would return after a week.

5. Learned A.P.P., upon going through the case diary, submitted that the 14 years old girl of the informant has still not returned. It was further submitted that the investigation is going on and, thus, the question that whether there was a mobile phone or whether the petitioner had made the informant talk to her daughter will only be known after the investigation is completed. Learned counsel submitted that the petitioner being the sole accused, it cannot be believed that the mother would implicate only one person falsely and leave the main culprit and that too, where her 14 years old daughter has gone missing.

6. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case and submissions of learned counsel for the parties, the Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.
