JAMMU, May 23: Electricity Magistrate Jammu Sudesh Sharma today rejected the bail application of one Vijay Kumar, who was booked by the Domana Police in minor’s kidnapping case.
After hearing Senior PO Rajeev Thappa, the court observed, “allegation against the applicant/accused is very serious in nature. It is not an ordinary case of kidnapping but a case of kidnapping of minor girl”, adding “it has been repeatedly observed that women are being subjected to grave violation and their privacy is being injured. The incidents of kidnapping in present day society are becoming more and more common and the offence itself has gained alarming proportions”.
“The grant of bail to the accused will encourage him to commit similar offence again and again. There is nothing on record, which suggests that applicant/accused has been falsely implicated in the commission of the offence. Such type of offence leaves a permanent scar and a serious psychological impact on the victim and also on her family members and therefore no one would normally concoct a story of kidnapping just to falsely implicate a person”, the court further observed.
“Even otherwise the investigation of the case is still at its initial stage and minor daughter of the complainant is yet to be recovered and statements of prosecution witnesses under Section 164-A CrPC are yet to be recorded”, the court said while rejecting the bail application.
