We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner had cohabited with the minor and blackmailed her. As a result, she committed suicide. Trial is in progress. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected earlier on merits.

Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected.

Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date.
