Dated this the 23rd day of June, 2008
O R D E R
This is an application for bail.
2. According to the prosecution, the petitioner who is none
other than the father of the victim girl aged only 12 years raped her
on several occasions, from December 2006 onwards upto
19.01.2008. Now the victim is 13 years old.
3. This petition is strongly opposed. Learned Public
Prosecutor submitted that taking into consideration, the nature of
offence and the plight of the victim girl, bail may not be granted. It is
submitted that if the petitioner is released on bail even the life of the
victim girl will be in danger. The petitioner was arrested on
23.01.2008. Charge sheet has been laid. The lower court may take
steps for expeditious disposal, but I am not inclined to grant bail.
The petition is dismissed.
K.HEMA, JUDGE
