5. Learned A.P.P. for the State opposes the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioners and submits that from perusal of the FIR, it would manifest that the informant alleges that the victim on the date of occurrence was a minor aged about 13 years, the said submission of the learned APP is rebutted by the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the petitioners and it is submitted that though the age of the victim in the FIR has been disclosed as 13 years, but then no documentary evidence in support of the same was produced, but a Medical Board was constituted and the same assessed the victim in between 16-18 years. It is also submitted that even presuming that the victim was a minor then also the petitioners have been implicated merely because they are parents of Vikram.
