DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. DATED : 8TH DECEMBER, 2008. P.C.: . Heard learned counsel for the applicant and learned A.P.P. for the State. 2. The applicant is seeking bail in C.R.No.I-23 of 2008 of Vasai police station, Dist.Thane. The said crime has been registered against the applicant for having allegedly committed an offence punishable under sections 366(A) and 376 of IPC. 3. I have perused the statement of the prosecutrix. She has stated, in detail, how the incident occured and how the applicant committed rape on her. Immediately after the occurence when she reached home she disclosed it to her parents. It appears that in night her father was drunk and, therefore, they went to the police station on the next day and lodged the complaint. 2 2 2 The medical evidence supports the allegation of rape. In the circumstances I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Hence the application is rejected. Looking to age of the applicant the trial is expedited. . While passing this order I shall not be understood to have expressed any opinion on merits of the case and the trial Court shall deal with the case without being influenced by the observations made in this order.
