JAMMU, Mar 17: CJM Reasi Kamlesh Pandita today rejected the bail application of one Mohd Asraf, son of Saif Ullah, who was allegedly involved in rape case.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “these offences are against the body of a woman which is her own temple. These offences sully the reputation of a woman which is her richest jewel”.
“When a women frame is defiled the purest treasure is lost. No member of a society can afford to conceive the idea that can create hollow in the honour of a woman”, the court further said, adding “it is very unfortunate that there is a high increase in the rape instances and these ravenous maniacs are not even sparing the girls of very tender age”.
“While dealing with the bail applications, no roving enquiry is required but prima facie evidence and gravity of the offences are to be taken into account. Whether the offences alleged to have been committed by the accused persons are sustainable or not, same exercise can be done by the court at the time of charge/dis-charge”, CJM said.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
