IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA

Criminal Miscellaneous No.29137 of 2017 Arising Out of PS.Case No. -153 Year- 2015 Thana -KOCHADHAMAN District- KISANGANJ ======================================================

1. MD. FAROOQUE ALAM @ MD. FAROOQUE son of Late Shahabuddin, resident of Village- Dhanpura, P.S.- Kochadhaman, DistrictKishanganj. .... .... Petitioner/s

Versus

1. The State of Bihar .... .... Opposite Party/s ====================================================== Appearance :

For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Utsav Kumar For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Md. Nazir Ansari ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 27-07-2017 Heard the parties.

This application is for grant of regular bail in connection with Kochadhaman P.S.Case No.153 of 2015 for the offences punishable under Sections 363, 366(A), 372 and 120B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

Allegation against the petitioner, as per F.I.R. is of kidnapping the victim for the purpose of selling her for prostitution.

Submission of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that the whole family members of the petitioner have been made accused in this case and further in spite of the fact that father of the victim was well knowing that she had been taken at Chandigarh, he has lodged this case against the petitioner and the

Patna High Court Cr.Misc. No.29137 of 2017 (3) dt.27-07-2017 2/2 petitioner has also drawn my attention towards Annexure-2, which is deposition of the girl in another case, wherein she has not taken name of the petitioner. The petitioner is in custody for about five months.

Heard learned A.P.P. also, who has opposed the prayer for bail.

Having heard both sides and from perusal of the case diary, it appears that the girl had been taken by the petitioner at Chandigarh and it is mentioned in the F.I.R. that in spite of request of the father of the victim to return the girl, they have not returned the victim girl.

Considering the seriousness of the offence, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, however, the learned trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of nine months.

With the aforesaid observation, this application is dismissed.
