3.
Learned A.P.P. representing the State opposes the prayer for bail.
4.
There is an allegation that a girl of thirteen years has been ravished by the petitioner and others.
5.
Though, there is a delay of two days in lodging the F.I.R., but the evidence of P.W.-1, who is the victim herself, supports the prosecution case. The victim has also identified the petitioner and his coterie.
6.
Thus, considering the direct nature of allegation and the material which has surfaced in the investigation, I am not inclined to release this petitioner on bail.
7.
Accordingly, this Bail Application is dismissed.
8.
The photo copy of the evidence forwarded by the Court concerned, be sealed and kept on record.
