The petitioner seeks bail in connection with Chand P.S. Case No. 78 of 2025 instituted for the offences under Section 87 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023.

¶18

The prosecution case, in brief, is that on 25.03.2025 at about 9 A.M., the informant’s daughter went to school and did not return home. Upon inquiry, it was learnt that she had gone with the petitioner, who was also missing from his house since the previous day.

¶20

Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has falsely been implicated in the present case. Learned counsel further submitted that the petitioner has been named in this case merely on the basis of suspicion when victim was found missing from her home. Learned counsel further submitted that petitioner never kidnapped the victim. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody since 08.05.2025 and has no criminal antecedent.

¶21

Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner stating that victim in her statement recorded under Section 183 of the Bharatiya Nagarika Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 has supported the case of the prosecution.

¶22

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as also Section 183 BNSS statement of the victim, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.
