IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.42674 of 2010 Shambhu @ Rahul, Son of Sri Suresh Prasad, resident of Mohalla- Purani Godown, Police Station- Kotwali, District-Gaya -------------------- Petitioner Versus THE STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 02 20-01-2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as Sri Nand Kumar, learned Addl. Public Prosecutor. The petitioner, who is in custody in Kotwali P.S. Case No.301 of 2010 for the offence under Section 366 A of the Indian Penal Code, has prayed for grant of bail. It was disclosed by the informant that her daughter aged about 16 years had gone for Tution, but she did not return. It was suspected that this petitioner had kidnapped her for the purpose of marriage. Subsequently, the victim girl was recovered and her statement under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure was recorded, in which she disclosed that she was kidnapped by four accused persons and out of four accused persons, two accused persons had pressurized the victim for demanding money from her mother from the mobile phone, which was provided by the accused. However, this petitioner, who was amongst them, subsequently on request of the victim, had dropped the victim to Kotwali Police Station. Since it was a case of kidnapping for ransom, which appears from the statement of the victim girl recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Court is not inclined to 2 grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. NKS/- ( Rakesh Kumar, J.)
