It has been alleged by the informant, Ranju Singh that

¶11

on 15.09.2014 at about 6:00-7:00 p.m., her daughter, Kumari Madhavi @ Guddan was kidnapped by Prem Kumar Verma, Chandeshwar Verma, Mantu Verma and one unknown person on motorcycle. During course thereof, they have also said that as they deposed against them hence, she will be eliminated. It has also been stated that all of them happen to be accused in Saharsa PS Case No. 269/2009.

¶12

The victim is still traceless. However, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the victim is a major and that has been considered in the case earlier instituted by father of the alleged victim, namely, Ranjit Kumar bearing Saharsa PS Case No. 267/2009 instituted for kidnapping of victim. It has also been submitted that there happens to be love affair and that is the reason behind that the present case which was registered at an earlier occasion under Section 364 IPC, has been concluded by way of submission of charge-sheet under Section 366/34 of the IPC. That being so, it has been submitted that petitioner, Parem Kumar Verma @ Prem Kumar Verma is entitled for anticipatory bail.

¶13

In likewise manner, it has been submitted that petitioner, Mantu Verma @ Mantu Kumar Verma is under custody since 19.09.2014. It has been submitted that co-accused, Chandeshwar Verma had already been granted bail vide

¶16

Cr.Misc.No. 10495/2014 and the case of the petitioner stands on similar footing. Hence, he be enlarged on bail.

¶17

Learned APP as well as learned counsel appearing for the informant opposed the prayer.

¶18

Because of the fact that the victim has not yet been traced out, therefore, the part played by each of the petitioners is yet to be ascertained. From perusal of the written report, it is apparent that it happens to be petitioner, Mantu Verma @ Mantu Kumar Verma who took control over the victim and at that very moment, he had pointed out pistol towards the victim. With regard to material having been collected in an earlier case, that cannot be used in the present case, more particularly, as it happen to be relating to subsequent event of kidnapping without having presence of victim till today. That being so, I do not see it a fit case for grant of anticipatory as well as regular bail. As such, both the petitions are, accordingly, rejected.
