CORAM:HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE I.S.MEHTAO R R09.10.2017

This is an application under Section 439 Cr.P.C. filed on behalf of thepetitioner for grant of bail in case FIR No.468/2017, under Sections365/308/34 IPC, registered at Police Station Nihal Vihar, Delhi.

Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner isinnocent person having no nexus with the allegations as alleged in the aboveFIR. Counsel further submits that the kidnapped boy has already beenrecovered and the petitioner is in judicial custody since 9[th]August, 2017and the petitioner is not required for further investigation. Counsel furthersubmits that no purpose would be served if he is kept in J/C for furtherperiod and prays that the petitioner may be released on bail.

Learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the bailapplication on the ground that the petitioner has kidnapped one RahulChauhan and demanded Rs.2,000/- per month from him. However, on

instructions from the IO, learned APP submits that during the course ofinvestigation, the said kidnapped boy Rahul Chauhan has been recovered.

In these circumstances, since the petitioner is in judicial custody since9[th]August, 2017 and the kidnapped boy Rahul Chauhan has also beenrecovered, I admit the petitioner on bail on his furnishing bail bond in thesum of Rs.20,000/- with one surety of the like amount to the satisfaction ofthe learned MM/concerned Trial Court with the condition that he shall notleave the country without prior permission of the concerned Court and heshall not tamper with the prosecution evidence.

The present bail application is allowed and stands disposed ofaccordingly.

Copy of this order be given dasti, as prayed.
