Allegation against the petitioner is of committing rape on the informant.

It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he has falsely been implicated in this case and there was love affair between the parties and a panchayati was held in which the petitioner was asked to pay 80,000/- and when petitioner could not fulfill their demand, present false case has been lodged.

Having heard both sides, considering the fact and circumstances of the case and nature of allegation, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, his application for regular bail is, accordingly, rejected.

However, the trial court is directed to expedite the trial and try to conclude it within a period of Seven months. At the same time, S.P. Munger is also directed to ensure the production of witnesses in the Trial Court so that the trial can be concluded within the aforesaid period. (Vinod Kumar Sinha, J) sunil/- U T
