Heard the learned Counsel for the respective parties. 2. This is an application for bail by 73 years old convict, who is alleged to have raped 12 years old minor. The learned Counsel for the applicant submits that there is contradiction in the evidence of victim's mother and victim's father about the time at which the victim disclosed the incident to 2 Appa 453-2011 them. He points out that the medical officer, who examined the victim as to the injuries caused on account of rape has not been examined. He submits initially report was given about an attempt to commit rape and not about rape itself. He states that the applicant was on bail through out the trial, & therefore, he may be admitted to bail. I have gone through the evidence copies whereof have been annexed to the application. None of the grounds which the applicant now presses would be relevant for considering the application for bail, though they may be duly pressed when the appeal is taken up for final hearing. In view of this, no case for grant of bail is made out. 3. Criminal Application stands rejected. (R.C.CHAVAN, J.)
