IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.52839 of 2008 Raju Hussain, Son of Bachcha Hussain, resident of Village-Sisahni, P.S. Kundwa Chainpur, District- East Champara --- Petitioner Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 3 09-04-2009 Heard learned counsel for the F.I.R. accused Raju Hussain who is in custody since 19.9.2008 in connection with Kundwa Chainpur P.S. Case No.41 of 2008 registered under Section 363 and 366A/34 I.P.C. for allegedly having kidnapped Priyanka. The petitioner is named in the F.I.R. and the victim in course of her statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. specifically stated all the dubious role played by the petitioner in forcibly kidnapping her. Submission on behalf of the petitioner is that independent eye witnesses have stated about existing love affairs between the petitioner and the victim girl. The so called existing love affairs cannot be a cause germane for the petitioner to kidnap a girl who states her age as 15 years and the doctor has assessed her aged in between 17 and 18 years. In the facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. His prayer for bail is accordingly rejected. However, he may renew his prayer for bail after one year.
