1. Heard learned lawyers for the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the minor implicates the petitioner in the offence of penetrative sexual assault. Vulnerable witness is yet to be examined.

3. Under such circumstances and in view of the gravity of offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

4. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
