Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records. 7. Learned counsel for the applicant would submit that applicant has been falsely implicated in the case; that the medical evidence does not corroborate the prosecution version and that the applicant is languishing in jail since 03.11.2024. 8. Per contra, learned State Counsel vehemently opposed the bail application and would submit that the offence alleged is of a grave and heinous nature; that the present case is related with the victim, who is of very tender age of 7 years, that Investigating Officer after collecting sufficient evidence, submitted the chargesheet against the applicant and therefore, the present bail application is liable to be dismissed. 9. Having considered the facts and circumstances of the case, this Court is of the view that there is no good ground to enlarge the applicant on bail and the present bail application deserves to be rejected. 10. The present bail application is rejected. (Alok Mahra J.) 10.02.2026 Ujjwal
