...for the Petitioner.

Md. Anwar Hossain, Ms. Benajir Hasna.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the parties.

Petitioner is in custody for over one year. It has been submitted he has been falsely implicated in the instant case. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the minor implicates petitioner in the offence of penetrative sexual assault. Her version is corroborated by her mother. In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials and gravity of the 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 without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
