ASHOK KUMAR Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) HEARD learned Counsel for the peti ­tioners, Sri P.P.S. Rathore, Sri Anuj Bajpai, learned Counsel for the complainant and the learned A.G.A.

(2.) LEARNED Counsel for the parties agree that Km. Priti has been recovered by the police and statement has to be re ­corded. In the counter affidavit filed by the complainant, the High School certificate of the victim is annexed, which shows her date of birth to be 20.8.1993. Therefore, Km. Priti was only about 15 years and a few months in age on the date of alleged ab ­duction.

(3.) A supplementary affidavit has been filed, wherein some affidavit of the girl has been annexed, where she states that she claims to have voluntarily gone away. We do not think that at this stage, a defence document can be of much help. Therefore, there is no force in this petition. It is dismissed.
