No.2926 of 2011 SANJAY KUMAR MANDAL Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02/ 11.03.2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Addl. P.P. for the State. According to the prosecution case, the alleged occurrence took place on 6.4.2010 and the informant gave information about missing of his daughter on 16.4.2010 i.e. after ten days of the alleged occurrence. The victim was recovered after institution of the instant case and her statement was recorded under section 164 of the Cr. P.C. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that there was some sweet relation between the petitioner and the victim girl and her statement recorded under section 164 of the Cr. P.C clearly corroborates this fact that she had willfully eloped with the petitioner. Although learned Addl. Public Prosecutor opposed the prayer of the petitioner but from perusal of the FIR, it appears that when informant came to his home, he had not only found missing his daughter but he also noticed that Rs 20,000/- cash and some ornaments of his daughter were also missing. The aforesaid facts clearly suggest this fact that the victim was a consenting party otherwise there was no occasion for her to take away cash and ornaments from her house. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, let petitioner Sanjay Kumar Mandal be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs 10,000/- with two - 2 - sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Addl.
