We have considered the materials on record. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected on merits in September, 2022. In view of the aforesaid fact and gravity of the offence involving penetrative sexual assault on a minor, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at the earliest without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
