    The Bombay High Court granted bail to Abdul Muka Shaikh, accused of sexual assault under IPC Sections 376 and POCSO Act, finding serious doubts in the prosecution's case. The victim's statements consistently attributed the assault to her father, not the applicant, and DNA testing confirmed the victim's father as the biological father of the fetus, excluding the applicant's paternity. The court released the applicant on Rs. 15,000 bail with conditions prohibiting contact with the victim or witnesses.
