Case No.27 of 2019 dated 11.01.2019 under Section 8 of the POCSO Act subsequently submitting charge sheet being No.39 of 2019 dated 26.01.2019 under Sections 4/8 of the POCSO Act. And In the matter of: Laxman Roy ....Petitioner.

Ms. Jonaki Saha ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, Ld. P.P., Mr. Parthapratim Das, Mrs. Manasi Roy ...for the State.

Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in causing penetrative sexual assault on a minor girl and in view of the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

The parties shall act in terms of the copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this court.
