JAMMU, Apr 21: The Special Judge, Fast Track Court (POCSO Cases), Jammu, has rejected the bail application of an accused facing trial in an alleged rape case involving a 15-year-old girl.
The bail plea was filed by Jai Parkash in FIR No. 81/2023 registered at Police Station Gangyal, Jammu, for offences under Section 376 IPC and Sections 3/4 of the POCSO Act.
The prosecution opposed the application, contending that the accused was involved in serious and heinous offences and that the statements of the victim and other material witnesses recorded before the court supported the prosecution case.
Special Judge Amarjeet Singh Langeh, while declining bail, observed that the victim had given a detailed and vivid account of repeated sexual assault and that, prima facie, her testimony was corroborated by her mother, father and other prosecution witnesses already examined in the case. Holding that the evidence on record formed a visible chain against the accused, the court concluded that no ground for grant of bail was made out at this stage and dismissed the application.
