2. The case of the prosecution is that the first petitioner allegedly trespassed into the house where the victim girl was staying and sexually harassed her in the absence of the defacto complainant and when the same was questioned, a quarrel arose involving the other petitioners. Hence, the complaint was lodged and the case was registered.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioners submit that the petitioners have been falsely implicated in this case. He further submitted that the issue arose out of a love affair between the first petitioner and the victim girl, which was not approved by the defacto complainant. Hence he prays to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

4. The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) for the respondent police

while opposing the anticipatory bail to the petitioners reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that due to love affair between the first petitioner and the victim, on the date of occurrence, the first petitioner sexually harassed the victim girl.

5. From the submissions made by the learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) it is a case of sexual assault meted out by the victim. Since custodial interrogation is required in this case, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioners.
