The petitioner has approached this Court seeking anticipatory bail in a case instituted under section 366A/34 IPC. The allegation is that he kidnapped/abducted the minor daughter of the informant. It appears from the records that within two days of the occurrence, she returned home and made statements under section 164 Cr.P.C. Learned counsel, referring to the aforesaid statements, submits that the petitioner himself dropped the victim at the police station. It is next contended that there is no allegation of any misbehaviour with the girl. It is next contended that the Dy.S.P. has doubted the veracity of the allegation. Considering the allegation and the statement of the girl, this Court does not propose to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.
