Rape of minor: HC rejects school teacher’s bail application
The Hindu
Medical evidence supports the prosecution case, says judge
The Bombay High Court denied bail to a municipal school teacher for sexually harassing and assaulting a minor repeatedly since 2014.
Justice PD Naik was hearing the bail application filed by Nihal Ahmed Abdul Majid Ansari.
On April 13, 2019, Ansari, 56, went to the 16-year-old girl’s school and asked for her school leaving certificate. The school authorities refused to give him the certificate as he was not known to them.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
