Woman Allows Her Live-In Partner To Commit Sexual Assault On Minor Daughter: Telangana HC Denies Bail Calling Allegations 'Heinous'

The Telangana High Court on Tuesday denied bail to a woman who has been accused of allowing her live-in partner to commit sexual assault on her own minor daughter.

The Bench of Justice G. Sri Devi was hearing the plea of a woman seeking her release on bail in connection with a case registered for the offences punishable under Sections 376(2)(f)(n), 376(3), 342, and 50 of the Indian Penal Code.

The Court perused the case record and other material papers and noted that grave allegations were levelled against the petitioner/woman.

The Court noted that after the death of her husband, she developed illegal intimacy with A-1 and both the petitioner and A-1 were staying together by maintaining live-in relationship and allowed A-1 to commit sexual assault on her own minor daughter, as a result of which her minor daughter, due to the continuous assault upon her by A-1, became pregnant and also gave birth to a male child.

Further, after giving birth also, the victim became pregnant twice she was administered pills for abortion. The Court also noted that the DNA test revealed that A-1 is the biological father of the male child born to the victim girl.

Lastly, the Court noted that a charge sheet had also been filed in this case.

Thus, the Court observed thus:

"Looking into the nature of allegations levelled against the petitioner, which are grave and heinous in nature, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail and the prayer for bail is rejected."

Accordingly, the Criminal Petition was dismissed and the trial Court was directed to commence and conclude the trial, as expeditiously as possible, preferably within a period of six (6) months from today without giving any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
