The petitioner apprehends his arrest for the offences alleged under Sections 366(A)/34 of the Indian Penal Code registered in connection with Uchakagaon P.S. Case No. 331 of 2018.

It is submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated as evident from the statement of the so-called victim girl recorded under Section 164 Cr. P.C. wherein she has categorically stated that she had voluntarily accompanied the petitioner and no one had kidnapped her. She has claimed her age to be of 18 years. So also according to the medical report her age has been assessed to be 18 to 19 years and no evidence of sexual assault have been found. It is therefore submitted that the ingredients of Section 366A of IPC are not satisfied. The petitioner claims clean antecedents.
