                 CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE ARUN KUMAR JHA
                                       ORAL ORDER

2   24-04-2026                     Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   APP for the State.

                                   2.    In    the    present      case,    the     petitioner    is

                   apprehending his arrest in connection with Paraiya P.S. Case

                   No. 332 of 2024 registered for the offences under Sections

                   137(2), 87 of B.N.S.

                                      3. As per prosecution case, 18 years old daughter

                   of the informant went missing and the informant named this

                   petitioner who kidnapped her daughter.

                                      4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this

                   case. The petitioner has been made accused in this case merely

                   on suspicion. The victim was student in the coaching institute of

                   the petitioner. The statement of the victim girl was recorded

                   under Sections 180 and 183 of BNSS wherein she stated that

                                            2/3




          she left the house on her own and never met the petitioner. She

          further stated that she contacted the petitioner on telephone and

          the petitioner instructed her to return home and the petitioner

          also informed the cousin of the victim about her leaving the

          house. Learned counsel further submits that not a single word

          has been uttered against the petitioner for any wrong doing.

          From the statement of the victim recorded by the police as well

          as before the learned Magistrate, it transpires that the petitioner

          has no concern with the alleged occurrence rather he helped the

          informant's family by giving information about the location of

          the victim. The petitioner even accompanied the informant in

          search of her daughter. Learned counsel further submits that the

          father of the victim brought her from Dhanband on 03.10.2024

          and her mother lodged this false case on the same day against

          the petitioner. Learned counsel further submits that it is a case of

          false implication and it is also clear from the delay in lodging

          the FIR as the occurrence said to have taken place on

          30.09.2024 but without any satisfactory explanation, the FIR

          has been lodged on 03.10.2024. The petitioner is having clean

          antecedent.

                       5. Learned APP opposes the submission made on

          behalf of the petitioner.

                                   6. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and

                      submissions made on behalf of the parties and considering the

                      doubtful nature of allegation against the petitioner and further

                      considering his clean antecedent, let the petitioner above named,

                      in the event of his arrest or surrender before the court concerned

                                                      (ii) The petitioner will remain present

                                                      on each and every date fixed by the

                                                      court below, if so required by the
