And In Re: Pulak Samanta ... ... Petitioner Mr. Raj Kumar Maiti ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Prasun Kumar Datta Mr. Pradipta Ganguly ... ... for the State Heard the learned Advocates appearing for both the parties. We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the minor implicates the petitioner in the offence of penetrative sexual assault. She is yet to be examined. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The application for bail is thus rejected.
