further   sentenced   to   suffer     rigorous   imprisonment 

for seven years and to pay a fine of Rs.3,000/­, in 

default   to   suffer   rigorous   imprisonment   for   two 

months   in   respect   of   the   offence   punishable   under 

Section  4 of the POSCO Act,  2012.    The accused  is 

further   sentenced   to   suffer     rigorous   imprisonment 

for  ten  years  and to pay a fine  of Rs.3,000/­, in 

default   to   suffer   rigorous   imprisonment   for   two 

months in respect of offence punishable under Section 

6 of the POSCO Act,  2012.    The accused  is further 

sentenced  to suffer rigorous  imprisonment  for three 

years and to pay a fine of Rs. 1,000/­ in default to 

undergo rigorous imprisonment for 15 days in respect 

of offence  punishable  under  Section  8 of the POSCO

Act,   2012.     The   Trial   Court   has   directed   that   the 

substantive   sentences   of   punishment   shall   run 

concurrently.

2)

On   perusal   of   the   judgment   and   order   of 

conviction   and   sentence,   it   transpires   that   age   of 

3

Cri.Appln.No.2230/2016

the victim, at the time of the alleged incident, was 

about 7­8 years and there is medical evidence, which 

supports the claim of the prosecution that the victim 

was subjected to sexual assault.  The accused was not 

granted bail during the pendency of the appeal.

3)

Considering the facts of this case, we are 

of   the   opinion   that   no   case   is   made   out   for 

enlargement of the accused/applicant  on bail during 

pendency   and   disposal   of   the   criminal   appeal.   The 

criminal application is devoid of substance and hence 

stands rejected.
