By order dated 15.12.2025, this Court noted that the statement of the prosecutrix was to be recorded before the Trial Court on 23.12.2025, and directed the Trial Court to ensure that her testimony was completed on that date. Mr. Aakash Dubey, learned counsel for the applicant, however, submits that the examination of the prosecutrix could not take place on 23.12.2025 as she had a school examination on that day.
