Dated 21st April, 2009.
ORDER
The petitioner, who is the accused in Crime
No.198/2009 of Pathanapuram Police Station for the offence
punishable under Section 511 and 376 of IPC, seeks
anticipatory bail.
2. The allegation against the petitioner is that the
petitioner tried to commit rape upon a 7 year old girl child,
named, ‘Shiny’. It is submitted by the learned counsel for
the petitioner that he is falsely implicated in the above crime
due to the animosity of the de facto complainant towards the
petitioner.
3. The learned Public Prosecutor stoutly opposed the
prayer. According to the learned Public Prosecutor, the
petitioner involved in a heinous crime of rape on a minor girl
aged only 7 years old.
4. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner as
well as the learned Public Prosecutor.

5. The above crime was registered only on 19.3.2009 and
investigation is only at the infant stage. Considering the
seriousness of the allegation, custodial interrogation of the
petitioner is absolutely necessary. I find no reason to grant the
relief as sought for in exercise of the extraordinary power of this
Court under section 438 of Cr.P.C.
In the result, there is no merit in the petitioner and
accordingly, the same dis dismissed.
