Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely
implicated in the present case. It is submitted that no such incident whatsoever has taken place.

It is submitted that the applicant has no criminal history as stated in para 21 of the affidavit and is in jail since 30.07.2024. 7.
Per contra, learned counsel for the State vehemently opposed the prayer for bail and submitted that during medical examination, the doctor found slight redness around the vaginal orifice opening and thus there has been sexual assault on her. It is submitted that the victim is aged about 8 years and a child. It is submitted that the applicant is named in the F.I.R. lodged by the mother of the victim and the statements of the victim recorded during investigation. It is further submitted that there is no reason whatsoever for false implication. 8. After hearing the learned counsels for the parties and perusing the records, it is evident that the victim is a child aged about 8 years. She has named the applicant in her statement recorded during investigation. The applicant is named in the F.I.R. The medical examination of the victim shows injuries on her private part. No ground for bail is made out. 9. Accordingly the present bail application is rejected. Order Date :- 10.7.2025 Manoj (Samit Gopal,J.)
