I have heard the learned counsel for the parties, besides perusing the record with due care and circumspection. Learned counsel for the petitioner urged with great eloquence that as is borne out from the certified copy of the statement of Baljinder Kaur, prosecutrix recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C, no offence worth the name is made out against the petitioner. She further puts that the conclusion of trial is likely to take considerable time. As the contents of the statement recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C proceed, the prosecutrix was taken away by the petitioner to his own house at the asking of his Criminal Misc. No. M-5376 of 2009 -2- mother-in-law and all kinds of services were rendered to her and, thereafter, she was sent back to her house.
