MEHINDER SINGH SULLAR, J. - (1.) PETITIONER -Manni @ Dharmender son of Ram Pal, has preferred the instant petition for the grant of concession of regular bail, in a case registered against him, vide FIR No.174 dated 21.03.2014, on accusation of having committed the offences punishable under Sections 363 and 366A IPC, by the police of Police Station City, Yamuna Nagar.
(2.) NOTICE of the petition was issued to the State. After hearing the learned counsel for the parties, going through the record with their valuable assistance and after deep consideration over the entire matter, to my mind, the present petition for regular bail deserves to be accepted in this context.
(3.) TERSELY , the prosecution claimed that on 18.03.2014, prosecutrix (name intentionally withheld) daughter of complainant Anju Sharma, has left her parental house. She did not return back. The complainant searched for her but in vain. On the basis of suspicion, the present case was registered against the petitioner. It is not a matter of dispute that police recorded the statement of prosecutrix under Section 161 Cr.P.C., (Annexure P -3), which is in the following manner: - "It is stated that I reside at the above mentioned address and study in 10+2 class. I was harassed by my father and mother because my mother Anju used to beat me on petty matters and she used to made false complaints to my father against me and they usually beat me. After being continuously tortured by my parents. I made up my mind to commit suicide and went to Chita Mandir. My father Rajiv Sharma brought me back. After being tortured by my parents. I made up my mind to marry after running away from the house. I love very much Manni and I want to marry him. My father and mother are against this marriage. On 18.03.2014 I went to the school to bring my younger sister and left her in the house then I gave a ring to Manni from mobile No. 8059875221 and asked him to come to Nayara Chowk. From there we went to Jammu and then to Vaishno Devi Darbar. I and Manni without any pressure from anyone married each other. The family members of Manni were also annoyed with this marriage. We loved each other and hence on the 20th we married. On 21.03.2014 we came down from Mata Ke Darbar and returned to Yamuna Nagar on 22.03.2014 and when we reached the bus stand the police met. Manni did not do any wring with me. I do not want to go to my parents and want to reside with Manni I feel danger from my father and mother." ;
