He prays for bail. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered the materials on record. Statement of minor victim does not disclose any relationship between the parties. On the other hand, she states she was forcibly kidnapped and married.

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

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
