This is one of the most ridiculous judgement - I have read! In what cuckoo land is the judge living??

Picked this from  CNN-IBN - I don't know how authentic the news is - need to read about before I conclude that the news is true... 

In an unusual development, the Madras High Court has granted bail to a rape accused so that he could participate in a mediation process with the victim in the case.
According to a report in The Indian Express, the victim was a minor when the incident happened, and has now lost her parents. The victim also gave birth to a child after the rape.
