He also pointed out that medical certificate of the - 2 - accused is not produced alongwith the chargesheet. Even if such medical certificate is not produced, taking into consideration the evidence collected by the prosecution, it appears to be serious offence of rape and prima-facie, it appears that applicant was culprit, therefore, bail cannot be granted. 3 Therefore, bail stands rejected.
