The sole petitioner, who is in custody in Chiraiya P. S. Case No. 55 of 2010 since 2.7.2010 for the offence under Sections 366 and 120(B) of the Indian Penal Code has prayed for grant of bail. Accusation against the petitioner is that he enticed the daughter of the informant, and thereafter, he had taken away her and kidnapped. During investigation, the victim was recovered. It appears that several witnesses have stated that the petitioner was in love with the victim i.e. daughter of the informant.

It was submitted by learned counsel appearing for the informant that victim was recovered by the police on 7.5.2010. 2 Subsequently, her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. was recorded, in which she disclosed that she was administered intoxicant thereafter, she was kidnapped and she was also raped. Smt. Indu Bala Pandey, learned Additional Public Prosecutor has supported the stand taken by learned counsel for the informant. From the impugned order, it appears that witnesses have stated that the victim and the petitioner were in love. The victim was aged about 21 years. Keeping in view the fact that some of the witnesses have stated regarding relation between the petitioner and victim as well as the fact that the petitioner is in custody since 2.7.2010 the court is of the opinion that it is a fit case for extending him the privilege of bail.
