1. The applicant has preferred this second bail application under Section 439 of CrPC, as he has been arrested in connection with Crime No.99/2017,

registered at Police Station Kansabel, District Jashpur, for the offence punishable under Sections 363 & 376 of IPC and Sections 3 & 4 of the

POCSO Act, 2012.

2. The first bail application was dismissed as withdrawn on 30.11.2017 in MCRC No.4949/2017 with liberty to repeat the prayer after examination of

the prosecutrix.

3. Although, the prosecutrix is less than 16 years of age, however, while examined in the Court, she has not supported the prosecution at any stage of

the examination, even her parents have not supported the prosecution case.
