anticipatory bail may kindly be rejected.

Considering that the allegations are there of harassing the victim and forcibly taking her in a washroom and in para-18 of the case diary, it has come that in CCTV footage, the victim was found to be being harassed by this petitioner and the age of the victim is said to be only 18 years and in the attending facts and circumstances of the case, I am not inclined to extend the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, his prayer for anticipatory bail is rejected.
