JAMMU, Jan 27: 3rd Additional Sessions Judge Jammu Subash C Gupta has rejected the bail application of Jagdeep Kumar, son of Mela Ram of Gho Manhasan, who is facing trial in gang rape case.
“It is generally seen that the teenage girls , who, cannot defend themselves on account of their physical weakness becomes readily and easily victim of sexual crimes at the hands of habitual and hardened criminals, who are hell bent to disturb peace of law loving & abiding citizens of the organized society”, the court observed.
“The criminals of serious and heinous crimes like the one as involved of forcibly sexual intercourse with a minor girl are to be dealt with iron hands. Their liberty as generally claimed by them by taking the assistance of fundamental rights enshrined in Constitution of India can safely be curtailed in the interest of society at large”, the court said, adding “the applicant/accused Jagdeep Kumar is not found entitled for bail”.
Accordingly, his prayer for release on bail was refused being devoid of any merit.
