3. It is alleged that co-accused Aman Kumar kidnapped minor daughter of the informant. Petitioner is mother of co-accused Aman Kumar.

Petitioner has been made accused in this case merely because she is mother of co-accused Aman Kumar. It is further submitted that victim, after recovery, has not supported the prosecution case. F.I.R. has been lodged after inordinate delay of eight days which itself raises doubt over veracity of the prosecution case.
