No.M-17897 of 2010 filed by Ajit son of Dharam Singh and Criminal Misc. No.M-18167 of 2010 filed by Shamsher Singh alias Sonu son of Satbir Singh. The respective petitioners in the two petitions pray for grant of Cr. Misc. Nos.M-17897 of 2010 etc. [2] regular bail in a case registered against them on 4.2.2010 for the offences under Sections 363, 366 and 34 Indian Penal Code and Sections 3 and 4 of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 (`Act' – for short). Dharam Pal-complainant has lodged the FIR alleging that his daughter was a student studying in RBM School, Jhajjar in 10+1Class (Science stream). She left for her school in the morning of 4.2.2010 from his residence at Subhash Nagar, Jhajjar. On the way, she was pushed in a car by some unknown persons. The neighbour of the complainant, namely, Raj Bala saw the said persons pushing the daughter of the complainant in the car. She came forward to rescue the daughter of the complainant but the accused fled away with her in the car. Raj Bala informed the complainant at his home and she also gave the number of the car. It was requested that legal action be taken. The statement of the daughter of the complainant was recorded by the learned Judicial Magistrate Ist Class, Jhajjar under Section 164 Cr.P.C. on 4.2.2010. It is stated by her that at about 7.30 a.m. on 4.2.2010 she was going to school. When she had reached near the stadium, a grey colour Maruti car came in which four persons with their faces covered with Shawl were sitting. Out of four, she recognized one of them, namely, Ajit (petitioner in Criminal Misc. No.M-17897 of 2010). One person came out of the car and forcibly picked her up by holding her hand and pushed her into the car. She tried to free herself. One of the persons whose face was covered with Shawl asked whether she would have friendship with Ajit or not. The daughter of the complainant refused to have friendship. Then the Cr. Misc. Nos.M-17897 of 2010 etc. [3] said two persons addressed Ajit that they should not take her forcibly and she should be left back. The two persons whose faces were covered with Shawl, then got down from the car and the driver and Ajit took her to Hailey Mandi (Gurgaon) where the petitioner Ajit and the girl were dropped. The petitioner-Ajit took her to Baswanagar. Shamsher Singh alias Sonu (petitioner in Criminal Misc. No.M-18167 of 2010) according to learned counsel appearing for him is one of the persons whose faces were covered with Shawl and got down from the car and had advised Ajit (petitioner) not to take the daughter of the complainant and leave her back. The allegations primarily are against petitioner-Ajit. However, the prosecution is to prove its case after evidence is led. The prosecution has cited 47 witnesses and so far only two have been examined. The petitioners are in custody since 8.2.2010. The trial in the case is likely to take time. The further incarceration of the petitioners would not serve any purpose. The daughter of the complainant was recovered on the same day. In the afore-noticed facts and circumstances the respective petitioners on their furnishing personal bonds and surety each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Jhajjar shall be admitted to bail. July 16, 2010. (S.S. Saron) Judge *hsp*
