Penal Code, 1860–Sec. 354–Probation of Offenders Act, 1958–Sec. 4–Grant of probation–Justification–Offence against a minor girl who is helpless–Accused is major and fled away when prosecutrix screamed–Offence of heinous nature–Fact that it was the first conviction, is not sufficient for granting the benefit of probation–Impugned order of probation deserves to be set aside.
