The prosecution's case is that the prosecutrix was working as maid in the house of the applicant and the applicant lured the prosecutrix and sexually harassed her. 4.

Therefore, the allegations are exaggerated. 5. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer and submits that the earlier bail application bearing MCRCA No. 1002 of 2017 and MCRCA No. 467 of 2019 has already been rejected by this Court and at the time of alleged 3 commission of offence the prosecutrix was only 15 years old. 6.
