...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for three years and seven months. He prays for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner had violated a three year old boy. Medical report supports the prosecution case. .

In view of the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Trial court is requested to conclude the trial as expeditiously as possible preferably within six months from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties. (Ajay Kumar Gupta,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
