CORAM: SMT.V.K.TAHILRAMANI,J. DATE : JULY 21, 2008 DATE : JULY 21, 2008 DATE : JULY 21, 2008 P.C. P.C. P.C. 1. Heard the learned advocate for the applicant and the learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in CR No.48 of 2008 of Wadala T.T. Police Station, Mumbai. The said case is mainly under Sections 376 r.w. 511 of IPC. 3. The victim girl is between 5 to 6 years of age. The statement of victim girl shows that the applicant gave her Rs.12/- to buy some eatables. Then he called her to his house, removed her [-2-] clothes, and inserted finger in her private part. 4. The learned advocate for the applicant submitted that no case under Section 376 of IPC can be said to be made out. It is true that act of the applicant may not be strictly speaking attempt to commit rape, however, the act of the applicant with the young girl of about 5 to 6 years of age is equally heinous. Looking to the facts, I am not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 5. Application is rejected and is disposed of accordingly.
