Guj HC rejects bail pleas of Patan gangrape convicts

STAFF WRITER 23:49 HRS IST
Ahmedabad, Nov 10 (PTI) Gujarat High Court today rejected the bail
pleas of six teachers convicted of repeatedly gang-raping a
19-year-old Dalit student in Patan district's Primary Teachers'
Training College.

A division bench of Justices A L Dave and J C Upadhyay rejected the
bail pleas, saying the accused have been convicted of a gruesome
crime.

They further observed that the lower court had convicted the six
accused -- Manish Parmar, Mahendra Prajapati, Ashwin Parmar, Kiran
Patel, Suresh Patel and Atul Patel -- based on medical evidence and
testimony of the victim.

Granting bail in such a matter where a Dalit girl was gangraped would
send a wrong signal to the society, the court observed. Moreover,
there were no convincing arguments made on behalf of the accused, it
added.
