IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT PATNA
Cr.Misc. No.6098 of 2011
MD. ANWAR HUSSAIN
Versus
THE STATE OF BIHAR
-----------
3. 07.04.2011. Heard the learned counsels for the
petitioner and the State.
The petitioner is apprehending his
arrest in connection with Azamnagar P.S.
Case No. 146 of 2010 registered under
Sections 363,366 and 120B of the Indian
Penal Code.
The accusation is against the
petitioner to have enticed away the minor
daughter of the informant. The victim has
got her age recorded in 164 Cr. P. C.
statement as 15 years. The learned court
below has assessed the age as 15 years.
It appears that the victim went in
the company of the petitioner of her own on
promise of the marriage. The victim’s
statement creates an impression that she was
not being taken forcibly but since she was
minor at the relevant time, this Court is
not inclined to interfere on that ground
alone but the statement of the victim can be
a good ground for grant of regular bail.
2
Let the learned court below consider
the regular bail application of the
petitioner and try to dispose off the same
preferably on the same day if possible,
considering the aforesaid submissions made
by the learned counsel for the petitioner if
the petitioner surrenders and prays for
regular bail within a period of four weeks
from today.
With this observation, this
application is disposed off.
