The Date of Birth of prosecutrix is 5/12/2000 and the date of incident is 15th August, 22nd September and 7th October, 2015. Therefore, the age of prosecutrix at the time of incident was less than 15 years and prosecutrix in her statement categorically levelled allegation against the respondent No. 2 accused that he committed rape with her repeatedly. He submits that on the same grounds learned Sessions Judge earlier rejected the application of bail of respondent No. 2. Thereafter, without any changed circumstances, the second bail application was allowed vide impugned order dated 30.03.2016. He submits that while allowing the bail application learned Sessions Judge overlooked the provisions of Section 29 of POCSO Act and the fact of minority of prosecutrix and merely on the ground of consent allowed the bail application. While the consent of minor is immaterial, therefore, impugned bail order may be canceled.;
