And In Re: Md. Salim Yousuf @ Selim Sk.

... ... Petitioner Mr. Arup Kumar Bhowmick ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Avinaba Patra ... ... for the de-facto complainant Mr. Binay Panda Mr. Subham Bhakat ... ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Case involves gang rape of the victim. Bail prayer of co-accused has been turned down by this court. Petitioner stands on the same footing with coaccused. Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is thus rejected.
