(2.) The FIR in question was lodged by the father of the prosecutrix alleging that the prosecutrix had passed 6th Class examination. On 4.1.2010, he was informed at about 8.00 p.m. that the prosecutrix had left the house at 6.00 p.m. but had not returned thereafter. On enquiry, the complainant came to know that the petitioner had enticed away the prosecutrix with an intention to solemnize marriage with her.
(3.) Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 2.2.2010. The petitioner and the prosecutrix were having a love affair and since they were belonging to different religions, the prosecutrix, after conversion, performed Nikah ceremony with the petitioner on 8.1.2010. Thereafter, the petitioner has been falsely involved in this case.
