has established physical relation with the informant’s minor daughter.

¶20

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. Charge-sheet has been submitted in this case. Learned counsel for the petitioner also submits that the petitioner has not committed any offence as alleged in the FIR. The allegation levelled against the petitioner is general and omnibus in nature. It is further submitted that the petitioner is the son of informant’s sister. There is contradiction in the statement of the victim recorded under sections 161 and 164 of Cr.P.C. and the medical report of the victim does not constitute any commission of intercourse. The petitioner is in custody since 23.04.2025 and has got no criminal antecedent.

¶21

Learned APP for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner and submits that the victim was a minor and the petitioner was major on the date of alleged occurrence. It is further submitted that the victim has stated about the involvement of the petitioner in her statement recorded under Section 164 of Cr.P.C. Hence, the petitioner does not deserve the privilege of bail.
