And In Re: Santu Mondal ... ... Petitioner Mr. Sandip Kumar Mondal ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Tanmay Kr. Ghosh Mr. A. Sen ... ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record including the statement of the minor. She states she had been forcibly raped by the petitioner. Under such circumstances and in view of gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The application for bail is thus rejected.
