Takes or entices any guardian of such minor
Takes or entices any guardian of such minor, the words 'takes or entices any minor out of the keeping of the lawful guardian of such minor' ins. 361, are significant. The use of the word 'Keeping' in the context connotes the idea of charge, protection, maintenance and control: further the guardian's charge and control appears to be compatible with the independence of action and movement in the minor, the guardian's protection and control of the minor being available, whenever necessity arises. On plain reading of this section the consent of the minor who is taken or enticed is wholly immaterial: it is only the guardian's consent which takes the case out of its purview. Nor is it necessary that the taking or enticing must be shown to have been by means of force or fraud. Persuasion by the accused person which creates willingness on the part of the minor to be taken out of the keeping of the lawful guardian would be sufficient to attract the section, State of Haryana v. Raja Ram, AIR 197...
