Notice of motion was issued. Learned State counsel appeared and contested the petition.

I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner as well as learned State counsel and have gone through the record. As per the FIR, the present petitioner has abused the minor son of the complainant, who was aged 12 years only. Now the complainant and victim's statements have been recorded and there is no chances of tempering with the evidence.
