On inquiring from her, she does not wish to join the applicant-father. In fact, she has expressed her wish to join respondent No. 6. However, such request, naturally, cannot be acceded to. He is an accused in the FIR lodged by the father of corpus being I-C.R. No. 76/2020, registered with Babra Police Station under Sections 363, 366 of the IPC and Section 18 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act, 2012. Considering her age of 13 years, at the time of incident and noticing nearly 10 criminal antecedents of respondent No. 6, as has been conveyed by Mr. Roy, SP, Amreli, the Court deems it appropriate to DIRECT the corpus to be taken to Mahila Vikas Gruha, Amreli. 4. Considering the fact that she has been found from Kachchh and the Investigating team traveled for about 9 hours, medical examination of the corpus and other inquiries are yet to be made by the police. Bearing in mind the fact that serious offences under POCSO so also under the IPC are alleged against the Respondent no. 6 and others, let the entire process be completed at the earliest. 5.

Mr. Rana, who shall also be the officer for the purpose of granting any permission to meet the corpus, who is going to be lodged at the Mahila Vikas Gruha, Amreli, apart from S.P. Amreli himself, this will also give cooling period to the corpus, whose wish and will have to be ascertained after fortnight, when she shall be produced before this Court, once again. From the preliminary details which he has revealed that there are number of criminal antecedents of the Respondent no. 6 and some indecent actions also on the part of the applicant at some point of time and therefore, it is being DIRECTED to the Rector/Administrator of the Mahila Vikas Gruha, Amreli, that she shall not permit anyone to meet the corpus, without express permission of the Dy.
