Mr. Kallol Mondal, Mr. Mussharaf Alam Sk., Mr. Souvik Das ...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Binay Kr. Panda, Mr. S. K. Bhakat.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Advocates for the parties.

We have considered the materials on record. Minor victim has corroborated her statement before Magistrate and implicated the petitioner in the offence. Trial has substantially progressed.

Under such circumstances and in view of gravity of 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 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 unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. Parties shall communicate this order to the trial court for due compliance.
