% 09.10.2017 This is an application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. filed on behalf of the petitioner for grant of bail in case FIR No.468/2017, under Sections 365/308/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Nihal Vihar, Delhi. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent person having no nexus with the allegations as alleged in the above FIR. Counsel further submits that the kidnapped boy has already been recovered and the petitioner is in judicial custody since 9th August, 2017 and the petitioner is not required for further investigation. Counsel further submits that no purpose would be served if he is kept in J/C for further period and prays that the petitioner may be released on bail. Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the bail application on the ground that the petitioner has kidnapped one Rahul Chauhan and demanded Rs.2,000/- per month from him. However, on

instructions from the IO, learned APP submits that during the course of investigation, the said kidnapped boy Rahul Chauhan has been recovered. In these circumstances, since the petitioner is in judicial custody since 9th August, 2017 and the kidnapped boy Rahul Chauhan has also been recovered, I admit the petitioner on bail on his furnishing bail bond in the sum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned MM/concerned Trial Court with the condition that he shall not leave the country without prior permission of the concerned Court and he shall not tamper with the prosecution evidence. The present bail application is allowed and stands disposed of accordingly.

Copy of this order be given dasti, as prayed. I.S.MEHTA, J OCTOBER 09, 2017 'dc'
