Petitioner has been made an accused in connection with Sadar P.S.

The petitioner is alleged to have enticed 15-year-old victim to leave her lawful guardianship with the intention to marry her. Statement of the victim was recorded during the investigation, in which she has stated that she has left her lawful guardianship according to her own wish and thereafter she married the petitioner. They also established physical relationship. Regard being had to the facts and circumstance of the case and considering the tender age of the victim, her consent for physical relationship becomes immaterial; I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, his prayer for bail is hereby rejected. Learned court below shall expedite the trial. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Saurabh uploaded
