2. The case of the prosecution as per the de-facto complainant Kanagambaram is that the accused is a neighbour, had misbehaved and sexually assaulted her minor daughter. Hence the case.

3. The learned counsel for the petitioner would submit that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. Hence, he prays for grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

4. Learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent Police would submit that the petitioner who is aged about 24 years trespassed into the house of the defacto complainant and misbehaved with her minor daughter, who is deaf and dumb. He would further submit that statement has also been recorded from the victim girl with special assistance, wherein she has stated that the petitioner had sexually abused her. Hence, he vehemently opposed for the grant of anticipatory bail to the petitioner.

5. Taking into account the serious nature of offence and the statement of the victim girl, who is deaf and dumb and the submissions of either sides, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this Criminal Original Petition is dismissed. 06.06.2023 mfa
