Therefore I was in jail for 5 days but after few days by the grace of almighty ALLAH i got bail. Now on submitting charge sheet by police it is mentioned that the girl is 17 years 11 month and 25 days old means she is minor hence a more charge has been added against me POSCO SECTION 7/8. Now police says that you have to again apply for bail as a more charge has been added. I have no previous criminal record and infect i was in the office at that time which is mentioned in FIR. I also have text message sent by her in which she asked some money otherwise she will again create problem for my family. 

1. I got bail (for Ipc 354,506, 294, 323, 34) before submitting charge sheet and i am still on bail but as charge sheet contain one more charge i.e. POSCO SECTION 3/8. Do i need to apply for bail?

2. How difficult it would for me to get bail, i have no previous criminal record.

3. Suggest me what to do to get bail and it would be possible to me to get bail or not as one more charge POSCO SECTION 3/8.

4. What are the point which i put in front of court to get bail as i already on bail.

1. For a fresh charge fresh bail has to be sought. Getting bail, more so when the victim is a minor and the accused is accused of outraging her modesty, is never easy unless there is some merit in the case. You may have to eventually move the HC for bail. It is immaterial that you have no criminal past.

2. Apply for bail immediately and produce any evidence which can prove your innocence.

Yes, you may have to get enlarged on bail for the new offences added now.

2. How difficult it would for me to get bail, i have no previous criminal record.

Since you are already on bail for the other offences, it would be easy for you to get regular bail for this offence to by just surrendering before the court and get enlarged o bail the same day.

3. Suggest me what to do to get bail and it would be possible to me to get bail or not as one more charge POSCO SECTION 3/8.

the answer given above is for this question too.

4. What are the point which i put in front of court to get bail as i already on bail.

1. She has to be properly cross examined with sets of strong questions into the false allegations and nullify her testimony or evidence an bring to light the contradictions which will help you to tide over her the crisis.

2. No, it will not be sufficient, she has to be cross examined and the arguments to be made before court to prove your innocence to the satisfaction of court after which you may be acquitted.

3. You can put it before her during cross examination and ask her if it was her own voice, once she admits the same then the evidence shall be used in your favor.

4. It depends.

1) girl statement would not be sufficient to prove you guilty

2) there must be some corroborative evidence

3) video recordings are admissible in evidence

4) text messages would help you in proving that false case filed against you to extort money from you

1) statement made by girl under section 164 crpc is false as father has admitted he was on duty on that day and did not save his daughter as alleged

2) it appears that ssc certificate does not reflect girl correct age

3) your lawyer can cross examine your wife on statement made by wife

4) if there is contradiction made in father statement made before police and in court it would affect credibility of the witness

1. It is not that the court will consider the different statements, it is you who have to highlight the contradictions of the witness in different statements to prove that the witness is lying before court.

2. You certainly have to bank upon the said contradictions to prove your defence or to nullify her false case before court.

3. This will depend on the prevailing situation.

4. You can ask the question relating to the information you have given here during the time cross examination of the witness.

The age in the 10th mark sheet is admittedly done on the basis of 2nd class marks sheet, hence there is no dispute on it.

You dont have to convince the court about this difference but you may make it a point to highlight in the arguments you would be making it finally in the case.

It is up to you to compromise or to conduct case further.

You may consult your advocate on this and also your own people before entering into any hasty decision.

1) X std class marksheet is not conclusive proof of her age

2) rely upon contradictions in testimony of principal and other witnesses

3) she may be afraid truth would come out hence wants to compromise

4) don’t give any such letter
