Thereafter, her son could not be traced out. It has further been alleged that co-accused Binod Prasad and Krishna Mahto are involved in kidnapping of the victim.

The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in this case. He is not named in the FIR. He is a person of clean antecedent and during investigation, nothing emerged against him. 5. On the other hand, the learned APP for the State and the learned counsel for the informant have opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that the complicity of the petitioner has transpired in the confessional statement of co- accused Golu Kumar. 6. Considering the aforementioned facts and circumstances, I do not think it to be an appropriate case for anticipatory bail. Accordingly, it is rejected. kundan/- (Nawneet Kumar Pandey, J) U T
