HEMA, J. ------------------------------------------ Bail Appl.No. 3673 of 2008 ------------------------------------------ Dated this the 11th day of June, 2008. ORDER Petition for bail. 2. According to prosecution, the petitioner allegedly raped a minor girl who is his close relative and she became pregnant. Learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is innocent of the allegations made. He was having an affair with another girl and their marriage is fixed and at this stage, the alleged victim's father, made a false complaint against the petitioner that too, after expiry of one year of the alleged incident. It is also submitted that the victim's marriage was fixed but it fizzled out on allegation against her chastity and this also persuaded de facto complainant to pressurise the petitioner to marry her. 3. This petition is opposed. Learned Public Prosecutor submitted that investigation is at the preliminary stage and the victim is only a minor. In the above circumstances, granting of bail will adversely affected the investigation. I am satisfied of the submissons made. This petition is dismissed. K. HEMA, JUDGE. Krs.
