¶10

In the light of the said allegations, learned counsel for the applicant has drawn my attention towards the medical report on record according to which the hymen was found to be intact and no injury was observed in the examination done on 12.8.2023. Hence, the applicant who is languishing in jail since 18.8.2023 having no criminal history, may be enlarged on bail.

Learned A.G.A. has opposed the prayer for bail.
