Learned APP further submitted that even medical report of the victim supports the case of the prosecution.

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case, there being ample material against the petitioner supported by the medical evidence to substantiate the allegations as levelled in the FIR, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.
