Two old healed hymenal tears present at 5 O'clock position. Vagina admits two fingers easily. In my opinion, she has been subjected to sexual intercourse (Rape)".

8. There is no substance in the contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner that the prosecution version has been found to be false during the investigation. The fact of the matter is that the petitioner has been found guiIty. He is therefore, being challaned. There is sufficient material on record to connect him with the offence charged against him. In this view of the matter when there is serious allegation of zina against the petitioner which finds support from the medical evidence, this is not a fit case for bail.9. Consequently, the bail application is dismissed.
