ORDER

04.04.2022 1.

This matter is taken up through hybrid mode.

Order No.

1.

2.

Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned Addl. Standing Counsel for the State.

3.

The petitioner is in custody since 3rd March, 2022 in connection with Pallahara P.S. Case No.60/2022 corresponding to G.R. Case No.94/2022 pending in the court of learned S.D.J.M., Pallahara for the alleged commission of the offence under Sections 392/384/364(A)/34 of the I.P.C.

4.

Though it is alleged that the Petitioner and another persons kidnapped the victim and demanded ransom of Rs.4 lakhs from his family, yet no such ransom appears to have been actually paid. That apart, there are materials on record to show that the victim herself has borrowed some money from the accused person. 5.

Having regard to the above facts and the period of detention in custody, I am inclined to allow the prayer for bail. Let the Petitioner be released on bail on such terms and conditions as may be imposed by the court in seisin over the matter in the aforesaid case including the condition that he shall appear before the court

below on each date of posting of the case without fail. 6.

BLAPL is accordingly disposed of.

7.

Issue urgent certified copy as per rules.
