criminal antecedent and he is in custody since 20.04.2024.

¶17

Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that on earlier occasion, case diary as well as statement of the victim under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. has been called for. From perusal of the said statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C., it transpires that the victim girl has supported the prosecution case and disclosed that the petitioner has forcefully kidnapped her with the intention of selling her.

¶18

This Court is of the view that there is a clear distinction between Section 161 and Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. and finds that the statement recorded under Section 164 of the Cr.P.C. shall always prevail over the statement recorded under Section 161 of the Cr.P.C.

¶19

In the present facts and circumstances, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.
