JAMMU, May 21: Additional Sessions Judge Kathua Kamlesh Pandit today rejected the bail application of one Sahil Kumar involved in a rape case.
After hearing both the sides, the court observed, “the cases of rape, gang rape and digital rape are on increase and perpetrators of this inhuman and brutal crime are worse than even the beasts and deserve to be dealt with a heavy hand”.
“The entire country is seriously debating this issue and there are proposals coming forth that death penalty should be the answer to deal with the accused involved in such heinous crime. Every case has different facts; some of the recent rape cases have been so horrifying that entire country protested to condemn these barbaric acts and raised a voice to curb the menace by inflicting more severe punishment”, the court further said.
“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 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”, the court further said.
With these observations, court rejected the bail application.
