Court reject bail in minor kidnapping and rape case
JKUT (Jammu), June-05-2021-( JNF):- Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit rejected the bail application of one Girdhari Lal facing trial in a case of kidnapping and rape with minor.
While rejecting the bail application, Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit observed that The offence committed by the accused person is not only an onslaught on an individual person but on the whole society at large. A sexual assault is considered as one of the most heinous crimes and dastardly act, having social, psychological, physical and social repercussions on the life and prospect of a victim. It disturbs the psychological and emotional life of the victim. A sexual assault brings bad name to the woman and becomes a tool in the hands of insensitive people to ostracize her in society and attach social stigma to her name. Therefore, a solemn duty is cast on the courts while exercising discretion in balancing individual liberty and the interest of the whole society at large. JNF
