                                                                           -------- Opposite Party
                                           -----------

03/- 29/08/2011 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

Additional Public Prosecutor for the State, who is armed with carbon

copy of the case diary.

The petitioner apprehends his arrest in connection with a

case registered for the offence punishable under Sections 147, 148,

149, 323, 364 and 504 of the Indian Penal Code, is one of the named

accused in this case, instituted on basis of Complaint Case No. 2799

of 2008 filed on 01.09.2008 for the occurrence dated 25.08.2008

(Monday) in the morning at about 8.30 A.M. with allegation of

kidnapping of minor son of the complainant-informant, who herself

has seen the occurrence and forcibly taking out of her son by all the

seven named accused persons.

Submission is that in spite of allegedly being an eye-

witness of the occurrence, no step was taken. Moreover, the victim

roughly after three months has voluntarily appeared and made

statement recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal

Procedure, though said about his kidnapping, but without any other

details. Even in the case diary, there is nothing about his recovery by

the police, which is asserted in his statement. Learned Additional

Public Prosecutor after going through the case dairy up to paragraph
2

nos. 98 dated 17.03.2011 failed to refute any such assertion.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, in

the event of his arrest/surrender before the court below within four

weeks, let the above named petitioner be enlarged on bail on

furnishing bail-bond of Rs. 10,000/- (ten thousand only) with two

sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of Judicial

Magistrate, 1st Class, Chapra, in connection with Daudpur P.S. Case

No. 65 of 2008, subject to condition laid down under Section 438(2)

of the Criminal Procedure Code with additional condition to remain

physically present before the court below on each and every date at

least for two years or till disposal of the case, whichever is earlier, in

case of failure on two consecutive dates, without giving any

reasonable explanation, the liberty granted shall be deemed to be

cancelled.
