It is alleged that the petitioner had enticed away the daughter of the informant with the intention to marry her. Statement of the victim recorded under section 183 of the B.N.S.S earlier called for has been received. It appears that the victim has stated that she has left her lawful guardianship according to her own wish. She has further stated that she has married this petitioner and she was not subjected to any sexual atrocity. Learned lawyer for the informant has opposed the prayer for bail. This appears to be a case of adolescent love affairs between the parties. The victim has not stated that she was subjected to any sexual atrocity. Regard being had to the facts and circumstance of the case, the petitioner named above, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned S.D.J.M. Rajmahal in connection with Rajmahal, P.S. Case No.140/2024. (Ambuj Nath, J.) Saurabh uploaded
