...for the State.

1.

Petitioner is in custody for one year and seven months. He submits that he had married the victim. Her examination is complete. Accordingly, he prays for bail. 2.

Learned Advocate for State opposes the bail prayer. 3.

We have considered the materials on record including the evidence of the victim. We note that the victim was detained and sexually exploited by petitioner. 4.

Keeping in mind the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to petitioner at this stage. 5.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of petitioner is rejected.

6.

We request the trial court to conclude the trial at an early date preferably within one year from the next date fixed for recording evidence without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

7.

Parties shall communicate this order to the trial court for due compliance.
