Advocate ... ... for the State Heard the learned advocate appearing for both the parties. Having considered the materials on record disclosing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in ravishing a mentally challenged lady, we are of the opinion that in view of the gravity of the offence this is not a fit case to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for anticipatory bail of the petitioner stands rejected.
