Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier. Vulnerable witnesses are yet to be examined.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Hence, application for bail is rejected.

Trial court is directed to examine the victims at the earliest. Parties shall communicate the order to the trial court for necessary compliance.
