At this stage learned counsel for the petitioner has invited our attention to the statement of the victim, who herself is a minor, recorded under Section 164 CrPC. Without expressing any opinion at this stage, suffice it to say that this is a case where Superintendent of Police, Pratapgarh should himself look into the matter, whether the names of Kuldeep Saroj, Satyam Saroj could have been dropped, in view of the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 CrPC, whether the names of other accused could have been dropped. He should file his own affidavit in the matter. Put up on 30.04.2024 as fresh. " 4. Learned A.G.A., on the basis of personal affidavit of Superintendent of Police, Pratapgarh, submits that location of Kuldeep Saroj and Satyam Saroj were not found together anytime between 12.09.2022 to 23.09.2022 and second accused, namely, Satyam Saroj was present in Navneet Kunwar Public School, Varanasi, which has been stated by the Principal of the institution, namely, Sri Diwakar Rai and the accused Rajesh Saroj was in Allahabad alongwith his counsel colleagues, thus, no charge has been found against them, therefore, this petition is misconceived. 5.
