IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA CR WJC No 641 of 2011 Prabhakar Bhatta Versus The State Of Bihar & Ors ----------- 3 03.08.2011 The present application has been filed by the grandfather of the alleged victim girl who is said to have been kidnapped. The first information report is Annexure-1 to the writ petition. Prayer for habeas corpus is based on the plea that the girl was about 17 years of age and has been kidnapped by persons named therein. We have perused the first information report. It is very clear that in the first information report itself, it is clearly suggested that she has eloped with the said person to the knowledge of the petitioner. Considering the age of the girl and considering the aforesaid averments made in the first information report, we do not think so that the writ of habeas corpus can be issued. However, we direct the Superintendent of Police, Bhojpur at Ara to recover the girl and at least get her statement recorded under Section 164 of Criminal Procedure and close the case one way or the other at an early date. With these observations, this application is disposed of. M.E.H./ (Navaniti Prasad Singh) (Ashwani Kumar Singh)
