On this report, case under FIR No. 14/2016 for the commission of offence under section 376 RPC came to be registered against the accused and investigation was set in motion.
The CJM, after hearing the CPO, observed that rape, a crime against one's psyche and reputation, 'leaves permanent scar on the life of the victim and it becomes horrendous for the victim to lead a dignified and well respected life in the society. It is very sad that now a days, we see marked increase in the rape instances and ravenous maniacs are not sparing even the girls of tender age and the courts in such offence have to take a call and exercise jurisdiction in a way which appreciates the civil society at large'.
With these observations, the court rejected the bail application. (JNF) |
