IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA Cr.Misc. No.7540 of 2009 RAJU PASWAN @ RAJEEV KUMAR, son of Laxman Paswan, residents of village-Rauna Tola Kaniya Inar, P.S.Gaighat, District- Muzaffarpur -----------------------------------------------Petitioner. Versus STATE OF BIHAR ----------- 2. 7.4.2009 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. The submission of learned counsel for the petitioner is that it is a simple case of love affairs. Only an attempt is made to make it a case of kidnapping. Several attempts are made to show the victim to be below 18 years, otherwise she is above 18 years. Maximum she might be at the verge of the majority. She voluntarily followed the petitioner. In any case, it was not a case of kidnapping. It may not be a case of marriage but the nature of the act of the victim can never justify petitioner’s arrest. I agree with the submission of the learned counsel. Accordingly, in the event of arrest or surrender within one month from today in Bochahan P.S. case no.25 of 2008, the above named petitioner shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/-( Ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the Chief Judicial Magistrate, Muzaffarpur , subject to the condition as laid down under section 438(2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
