The Bombay High Court has refused bail to a school bus driver accused of sexually assaulting a minor girl. Justice Madhav Jamdar highlighted that the incident was a grave breach of trust, and the offender's conduct was 'serious, grave and heinous.'

Justice Jamdar has called for an expedited trial, reinforcing the importance of justice in this distressing case. Despite the driver's claims of prolonged incarceration, the court deemed the nature of his alleged crime too severe to justify bail.
