The allegation against the petitioners is that they along with other co-accused persons kidnapped the minor daughter of the informant.

4.

It is submitted by learned counsel for the petitioners that petitioners are quite innocent and have committed no offence. They have been falsely implicated in this case. No such occurrence, in the manner as alleged, has ever taken place. The

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.64238 of 2024(3) dt.21-11-2024 2/2 allegation levelled against the petitioners is not specific rather general and omnibus in nature. Petitioners are ladies and there is no specific overt act against the petitioners. Petitioners have no criminal antecedent.

Learned APP for the State opposed the prayer for anticipatory bail by submitting that the victim has supported the prosecution case in her statement recorded u/s 164 of Cr.PC. 6.

Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case as well as considering the statement of victim, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioners on bail. The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail on their behalf is hereby rejected. 7.

Accordingly, this application is dismissed.
