A single Bench of Delhi High Court passed this order to deny anticipatory bail to the owner of a hotel where a 16-year old minor girl was allegedly kept and raped for four days while hearing a Bail Application filed by Ajay Kumar.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court has asked for an explanation from the Sessions Judge, Sirsa as to how did he entertain and decide petition for regular bail when a similar petition was pending before the Court.
Recently, the Punjab and Haryana High Court was pulled up by the apex court for not hearing a bail application for over a year. This is a deprivation of liberty, leaving the accused to languish in jail for years.
