P.C.:

1.

On expressing my disinclination to entertain the present application, despite the fact that the victim girl has stated that she was in love with the applicant, I am unable to persuade by arguments that it was consensual sex. The victim, being aged 14 years, the counsel for the applicant seek to withdraw the application.

2.

Application is disposed of as withdrawn.

3.

I would like to take this opportunity to take on record my appreciation for Ms.Chaitrali Deshmukh, the counsel appointed to represent the complainant, who has ably represented her cause. The Legal Aid Service Authority shall make payment of legal dues payable to the learned counsel, within a period of four weeks from today.
