...for the De-facto complainant.

Petitioner is in custody for 390 days. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

Learned Advocate for the de-facto complainant also opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner was a married person. Suppressing such fact, he cohabited with a minor girl.

In view of the 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 adjournments to either of the parties.
