Service report along with Memo of Evidence filed by the State is taken on record. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the allegations are out and out false. The petitioner is in custody for about a year. The petitioner is a teacher attached to the Convent School. After completion of investigation, charge-sheet has already been submitted in this case and, as such, further detention of the petitioner is not required. The mother refused
2 for medical examination of the girl. He seeks for enlargement of the petitioner on bail. Opposing such prayer for bail, learned Advocate for the State submits that as per the statement of the victim before the Magistrate as well as the attending Doctor, there are serious allegations against the petitioner. He seeks for dismissal of the bail application. Learned Advocate for the de facto complainant also opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the victim was offered cold drinks and thereafter was ravished for a considerable period of time. Perused the case diary and materials on record. The victim is a minor of 8 years of age. It is found from the statement of the victim before the Magistrate as well as before the attending Doctor that there are serious allegations against the petitioner of his involvement of the alleged offence, which is a grave one. Considering the above materials and nature and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.
The application for bail being CRM(M) 61 of 2025 stands dismissed. (Bivas Pattanayak, J.)
