...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Binay Panda, Ms. Puspita Saha.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for one year and eight months. He prays for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. We have considered the materials on record. Minor victim has implicated the petitioner in the crime.

Under such circumstances, 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 expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date preferably within six months from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
