CRL OP(MD). No.12772 of 2020 petition by stating that the petitioner has committed sexual offence against the victim girl and the 164 statement given by the victim girl before the learned Judicial Magistrate No.I, Ramanathapuram, reveals that the victim girl was forcibly taken away by misrepresentation and the offence was committed. The statement of the victim girl before the learned Magistrate further reveals certain facts, which all are to be investigated by the police thoroughly. The offences against women are increasing. Therefore, the stringent actions are required.

Sexual offences are to be dealt with iron hand and in the event of considering the bail in such cases, the same would sent a wrong message to the society and this apart in the present case, the investigations are in progress and in the event of releasing the petitioner on bail, there is a likelihood of interference and tampering the evidence or witnesses. When the investigation is actively progress, it is not preferable to consider the bail petition at this point of time. The respondent police is directed to expedite the investigation and complete the same. 4.Hence, the petition for bail stands dismissed. sd/- 11/11/2020 / TRUE COPY / / /2020 Sub-Assistant Registrar (C.S.)
