8   13-07-2026                  1. Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and learned

                   A.P.P. for the State.

                                2. The petitioner apprehends his arrest in a case

                   registered for the offence punishable under Sections 365 of the

                   Indian Penal Code.

                                3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

                   petitioner is a person with clean antecedent and the informant

                   alleges that on 28.02.2024 at 6 P.M., named accused persons

                   including the petitioner came and took her son in a Tilak

                   ceremony but her son did not come back home, hence the

                   informant called on her son’s mobile but the same was switched

                   off, accordingly she enquired from the petitioner and other

                   accused persons, who disclosed that they came back home about

                   30 minutes back and victim also left for his house, further a

          search was made but the victim could not be located, thus the

          informant alleged that accused persons committed some

          untoward occurrence with her son.

                       4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that

          petitioner has been falsely implicated in the instant case by the

          informant based on suspicion. It is next submitted that a counter

          affidavit has been filed on behalf of the SHO, Kuchaikote P.S.,

          wherein it has been specifically pleaded that during the course

          of investigation, Deepak and Manu were arrested and at their

          instance, the skeleton remains of the victim was recovered,

          further they disclosed that on account of dispute of the victim

          with Manu, the occurrence was committed by them. It is further

          submitted that at Para-16 of the counter affidavit, it is pleaded-

          “that it is also pertinent to state that this petitioner Amarnath @

          Amarnath Kasera, son of Anirudh Prasad, resident of village-

          Sasamusa, P.S. Kuchaikote, District-Gopalganj is innocent and

          he has no role in commission of this offence and he has been

          accused due to suspicion.” The learned counsel for the

          petitioner thus submits that during the course of investigation

          also no material was collected connecting the petitioner with the

          offence.

                       5. Learned A.P.P. for the State does not dispute the
