In this case prosecution has examined prosecutrix, her mother and one of her sister. The offences alleged to have been committed by the accused persons are heinous and also against the society at large. The accused persons facing the trial along with other co-accused persons who have absconded from the trial are involved in gang rape which is an offence against the society and against the person of the victim and leaves an indelible mental scar on the victim. It leaves a festering wound on the soul of the victim that gives a sharp pain at unknown turns. It is a mutilation that triggers the most visceral disgust of the self at most unsuspecting hours. In fact, rape is a seed of trauma that shall unfold in victim's mind for rest of her life. Rape permanently alters a person's existence. With these observations court rejected the bail applications.
