For the Petitioner/s : Mr. Vinod Gautam For the Opposite Party/s : Mr. Ramesh Chandra ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE VINOD KUMAR SINHA ORAL ORDER 05-09-2018 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners.

Petitioners apprehend their arrest in connection with Bakhri P.S.Case No. 324 of 2017 registered for the offences punishable under Sections 341, 323, 342, 506, 509, 376 of the Indian Penal Code and Section 4 of POCSO Act. Allegation against co-accused is of commission of rape and the allegation against the petitioners, who are ladies, is of assisting in commission of rape.

Submission of learned counsel for the petitioners is that petitioners are ladies and allegation of rape is against one Dharmendra Kumar and allegation against the petitioners is that they were assisting in commission of rape, which prima facie appears to be fake as ladies petitioners are sister and aunt of main accused.
