Mr. M. D. Majumdar ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, ...for the State.

Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the prima facie involvement of the petitioner in subjecting a 11 year old minor girl to penetrative sexual assault, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
