It is the submission of learned counsel for the complainant that earlier accused kidnapped the minor daughter of complainant, aged 16 years for which complaint was made and FIR was registered vide crime No. 486/2019 on 25-8-2019 for offences referred above. Accused was arrested on 3-9-2019 and after investigation charge-sheet was filed. Thereafter, accused preferred application under section 439 of CRIMINAL PROCEDURE CODE before the trial Court for bail but same was dismissed, therefore, accused as appellant filed criminal appeal vide Cr.A.No. 1759/2020 under section 14-A (1)(2) of Atrocities Act against the order dated 4-10-2019 passed by trial Court. After due consideration, appeal preferred by accused against the order of trial Court seeking bail, was allowed vide order dated 26-2-2020 and accused was directed to be released on bail on certain conditions including the conditions that accused shall not try to move in the vicinity of prosecutrix and would not try to contact her in any manner and would not cause harassment, otherwise on the basis of misconduct, his bail application shall be rejected. Another contrition that that accused shall not commit same nature of offence for which he is facing trial. He was also subjected to the condition that he shall not induce or intimidate to any person, who is acquainted with the facts of the case.
