Petitioner seeks bail in a case instituted under Section 366A of the Indian Penal Code. Mother, who is residing separate from her husband, is the informant. Allegation is that when she along with her daughter had gone to see the fair, she found the girl missing. On that strength she has named the petitioner who was living in the neighborhood. The girl subsequently appeared and made statement under Section 164 Cr.P.C. The statement unfolds a painful story. It also gives an impression that the petitioner, in fact, held out helping hands in order to retrieve her from the lurch she was put in. It stated that the petitioner and the victim are now married. Looking to the statement of the girl (Anexure-2), this Court is persuaded to admit the petitioner on bail. In the facts and circumstances of the case, the above named petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 2 10,000/- (ten thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of C.J.M., Bhabua in connection with Bhabua P.S.
