The Bombay High Court recently denied interim bail to a 73-year-old man who was convicted of raping and impregnating his intellectually disabled domestic help. The single-judge bench of Justice MM Sathaye said that there was evidence suggesting attempts to cover up the crime and that the consent of the victim was immaterial, considering that her intellectual quotient (IQ) was only 42 per cent. As per the details of the case, the interim bail application was part of the man's ongoing appeal against his 20-year prison sentence. He was awarded the sentence by a sessions court in September 2022 after he was convicted on multiple counts of rape under the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
