It is stated by the complainant that she has passed VIIIth Class and she has a younger sister and a younger brother. The complainant has been doing stitching work at home. Arun Kumar-accused (non-petitioner) was neighbour of the complainant. A month earlier to the FIR, Arun Kumar sold his house and started residing with his family at Narkatari Road, Azad Nagar, Kurukshetra. About three months earlier, Arun Kumar's mother came to the complainant for stitching her suit. Arun Kumar came to the residence of the complainant for taking the suit of his mother. Thereafter, they became friends and whenever he met her, he promised to marry her. On 30.08.2010, Arun Kumar met the complainant in the day and said that on that night, they both would leave their house and solemnize their Crl. Misc. No.M-32197 of 2010 ::2:: marriage. The complainant believing and knowing Arun Kumar, came out from her house at about 11.00 p.m. and reached Narkatari bye-pass road in front of the private school, where Arun Kumar met her with his car. The complainant was taken to the house of one person namely Mohit at Mohan Nagar, Kurukshetra in the said car. In the said house, Mohit and his wife were living. The accused Arun Kumar developed physical relation with the complainant against her wishes. Thereafter, Arun Kumar informed the complainant that he was going out of the house for some urgent work and would return the next morning and thereafter, they would solemnize their marriage at Chandigarh. Arun Kumar left the complainant in the house and did not return. After 4-5 days, Mohit and his wife-Pummy forced the complainant to do illegal work with other boys outside. She was given a beating and threatened. After about 5-6 days, Mohit and his wife took the complainant in a car at a house in Phase X, Mohali where a woman namely Kajal (petitioner) and 2-3 persons were present. Mohit and his wife- Pummy sold the complainant to Kajal (petitioner) and came back. After that, Kajal had been threatening the complainant and forced her to do illegal acts with boys outside. On 14.09.2010, the complainant finding an opportunity, fled away from the said house and came back to her house at Kurukshetra where she narrated her story to her parents. Thereafter, she was going with her father and mother to lodge a report, when Sudhir Kumar Inspector, SHO, Police Station Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, met her, who recorded her statement. The complainant requested that legal action may be taken against Arun Kumar, Mohit and his wife Pummy and Kajal (petitioner). The petitioner is in custody since 14.09.2010. The charges in the case have not been framed. The case before the learned trial Court is now listed for hearing on 03.02.2011. The complainant is said to have been sold to the petitioner. The prosecution, however, is to Crl. Misc. No.M-32197 of 2010 ::3:: establish its case by leading evidence and no substantial progress has been made in the case. In the facts and circumstances, it would be just and expedient to extend the concession of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the criminal miscellaneous petition is allowed and the petitioner on her furnishing personal bond and surety to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kurukshetra, shall be admitted to bail.
