CORAM : K.L.WADANE, J.

DATED : 11th JULY, 2017 O R D E R :

Heard Mr. S.J.Salunke, learned counsel for the applicants and Mr. A.R.Borulkar, learned A.P.P. for respondent.

2.

Offence at Crime No. 139 of 2017 is registered against the present applicants and other accused persons on 8.4.2017 on the basis of information given by one Sampat Tandale. He informed to the police that his 13 years old daughter studying in 8th standard in Mamta Girls School, Gangakhed met her on 7.4.2017 at shop and informed him that she is going to house, however,

she did not return home. The informant searched for her and came to know that she eloped with one Vikas Prabhakar Salve. Thereafter the informant had been to the house of Vikas, however, he was not found at his house. The informant raised suspicion against Vikas for taking away his daughter. On the basis of information afore said offence is registered against Vikas and his brother for the offence punishable under Sections 363 r/w 34 of the Indian Penal Code at Gangakhed police station, District Parbhani.

3.

I have perused the papers of investigation. On perusal of the same, it appears that the allegations against the present applicant and his brother are that when prosecutrix and accused Vikas were staying in the field of the aunt of the accused, the brother of the applicant gave certain amount to the accused which was given to him by the present applicant.

4.

The entire allegation against the present applicant is that indirectly he has financially assisted his son who was staying in the field. It

is alleged that such amount was given to his son Vikas through his brother. From the allegations it appears that prosecutrix herself eloped with son of the applicant. In such circumstances, no custodial interrogation of the present applicant is needed.

5.

Hence, interim protection granted as per the order passed by this Court on 21.6.2017 is hereby made absolute.

6.

Criminal Application is disposed of.
