already been filed. Applicant is in custody since 16.11.2017. As per the M.L.C. report no injury was found on the body of the prosecutrix. Prima facie it is a case of false implication. The applicant has no criminal background, he is innocent, therefore, he shall be released on bail.

¶20

On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application.

¶21

M.L.C. report is the subject matter of scrutiny of the evidence, which could be done by the trial Court at the time of disposal of the case.

¶22

Looking to the facts and circumstances of the case, looking to the fact that the prosecutrix is weak minded woman, looking to the seriousness of the offence, looking to the impact of granting bail to the applicant on society, this Court is not inclined to give benefit of Section 439 of the Cr.P.C. to the applicant.

¶23

Consequently, the present bail application is rejected.
