We have considered the materials on record including the evidence of the minor victim. She alleges she was forcibly raped by the petitioner.

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

Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected.

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