3. As per the prosecution case, the informant alleged that his adult son was abducted by the petitioner and others and they had been demanding Rs. 50000/-.

4. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and he has been falsely implicated in this case. No occurrence as alleged has ever taken place. The son of the informant has been recovered after the matter was first listed before the Coordinate Bench of this Court and Superintendent of Police, Khagaria was directed to recover the son of the informant. The statement of the victim

Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.83347 of 2025(4) dt.11-02-2026 2/3 was recorded under Section 183 of the BNSS and from this statement it is clear that there is no allegation against this petitioner and whatever allegation is levelled, it is against one Piko for not making payment after the son of the informant repaired his motorcycle. It is not believable that on his threat the victim left his place and went to Delhi and returned after four months thereafter. Learned counsel further submits that it is an out and out false case. No one abducted the son of the informant and only to harass the petitioner and others, the informant has lodged this false case. The petitioner is in custody since 09.08.2025 and charge sheet has been submitted. Petitioner has no criminal antecedent.

5. Learned APP appearing for the State as well as learned counsel for the informant oppose the submission made on behalf of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the informant submits that the petitioner and other coaccused persons abducted the son of the informant and kept him confined. Only after police started making raids, he was released by his abductors.

6. Having regard to the fact and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties and considering the improbabale and doubtful nature of allegation and statement of
