Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he is in custody since 24.12.2009. It is further submitted that there is no criminal antecedent of the petitioner. Learned counsel for the petitioner further tried to impress upon the Court that both the parties with consent of each other eloped and subsequently victim girl has been retrieved. It is submitted that grand- father who has affirmed the affidavit in support of the present application is ready and willing to take full control of the petitioner if he is released on bail. Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the informant, on the other hand, opposed the prayer. It is submitted that petitioner is facing charge of kidnapping of a girl/lady who was barely 17 years of age which is serious offence. A report was called for from the concerned Probation Officer which is placed at Flag-B. From perusal whereof, it appears that the victim was married from before and after living some time in matrimonial 2 home she was living in her ‘naihar’ when the occurrence had taken place .
