¶18

Section 164 Cr.P.C. has stated that she went with the petitioner and married him of her own volition but considering the fact that she is only 17 years of age, which is not a marriageable age of a girl, I am not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

¶19

The prayer for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is, accordingly, rejected.

¶20

However, if he surrenders before the Court below and seeks bail, the Court below shall pass orders in accordance with law after taking into account the aforenoted grounds, without being prejudiced by the fact that the present anticipatory bail application has not been entertained by this Court.

¶21

The application stands dismissed.
