He submits that Vikky Kumar was having a love affair with the sister of the informant who had eloped with said Vikky Kumar out of her own sweet will. He submits that the allegation is general and omnibus upon him and his wife and that his wife has been granted the privilege of bail by the learned Court below itself. He submits that charge-sheet has already been submitted and there is no allegation that petitioner has tampered with the prosecution witnesses. However, learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for bail stating therein that the victim girl, Nibha Kumari has not yet been traced and Vikky Kumar is an absconder.

Ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Sitamarhi in connection with Riga P.S. Case No. 75 of 2016, subject to the condition that one of the bailors would be a close relative of the petitioner having sufficient immovable properties within the jurisdiction of the concerned P.S.
