IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.3937 of 2011 TANTU @ VISWAJIT KUMAR Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR -------- 02/ 18.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. Aurangabad Town P.S. Case no. 18 of 2009 was registered under sections 363 and 365 of the IPC against two unknown girls. In course of investigation the victim girl was recovered and her statement was recorded under section 164 of the Cr. P.C. It appears from perusal of the above stated statement, she stated that she was taken away by two unknown girls and subsequently, petitioner along with some other accused persons took away her to Tata where he forcibly put vermilion on her forehead in presence of his family members. She further stated that she, any how, eluded from the clutches of the petitioner and other accused and admittedly, learned Judicial Magistrate, who recorded the statement of the victim girl, found her age about 18 years and when the victim was medically examined the Medical Board found her age between 17 to 19 years. The contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that petitioner is distant relative of the victim girl and, as a matter of fact, a proposal of her marriage was made before the petitioner as well as other family members but the parents of the petitioner did not accept the above stated proposal and that is the reason the victim as well as her other family members implicated the petitioner in the alleged crime. - 2 - Taking into consideration the above stated facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let petitioner, Tantu @ Viswajit Kumar, be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs 10,000/- with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Aurangabad in Aurangabad Town P.S.
