2. Petitioner is accused in Crime No.827 of 2014 of Pathanamthitta Police station registered for the offences under Secs.363, 366A, 346, 323, 324 and 376(D) of the Indian Penal Code, Sec.3(a) read with Sec.4 and Sec.5(g) read with Sec.6 of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act.

It is further alleged that the petitioner took the victim to Alappuzha, there also several persons had sexual intercourse with her.

3. Heard both sides.

4. The subsequent investigation has now revealed that the allegation that the victim was taken to Alappuzha is wrong. The petitioner has been in custody since 13.05.2015. Her further detention is not necessary for completion of investigation. So I am inclined to grant
