                                       ORAL ORDER

2   21-05-2026                    Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, learned

                   counsel for the informant and learned Additional Public

                   Prosecutor for the State through virtual mode.

                                2. The petitioner is apprehending his arrest in

                   connection with Sahebganj P.S. Case No. 596 of 2025, dated

                   15.10.2025 registered for the offences punishable under

          accused person restrained the victim, covered her mouth, and

          forcibly transported her in a four-wheeled vehicle toward

          Dhanaiya.

                        4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner is innocent, has committed no offence and has falsely

          been implicated in this case. The allegations as per FIR is that

          petitioner has given assistance to victim girl in fleeing away

          from her house. It is the case of the petitioner that the victim girl

          and Dhiraj Nat with whom the victim has fled away is presently

          married and are living peacefully. It is next submitted that after

          recording of the statement under Section 183 of BNSS, the

          victim is said to have married with Dhiraj Nat.

                        5. Learned APP for the State opposes the prayer for

          anticipatory bail application. Learned counsel for the informant

          Mr. Murli Manohar Singh does not dispute the factual position

          and submits that since they are already married and living

          peacefully, they do not intend to proceed this issue further.

                        6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances

          and that the issues between them have already been settled and

          the victim is already married with Dhiraj Nat, this Court is

          inclined to grant the privilege of anticipatory bail to the

          petitioner.
