2. The case of the prosecution is that on 18.05.2022 at about 01.00 a.m., when the defacto complainant was sleeping in her house, at that time this petitioner trespassed into her house and closed her mouth by inserting a cloth.

that the petitioner had committed very serious offence as against the old woman.
