The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Godda (T) P.S. Case No. 146 of 2024 (Special POCSO Case No.57 of 2024), for the offences registered under Sections 366A of the I.P.C. and Charge has been framed under Sections 366, 376(2)(n) of the I.P.C. and Section 6 of the POCSO Act, pending in the Court of learned Special Judge (POCSO), Godda. Petitioner is alleged to have enticed away the daughter of the informant to leave her lawful guardianship with intention to marry her. Attention has been drawn towards, the statement of the victim recorded under Section 164 Cr.P.C. in which she has stated that she was having affair with the petitioner and she has left her lawful guardianship according to her own wish. It was submitted that the victim has refused to go to her parent’s house as such, she was kept in at remand home, Deoghar. This appears to be a case of adolescent love affair between the parties. In view of the submission made above, I am inclined to release the petitioner, on bail.
