Petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition/application as per Rules within a month of resumption of normal functioning of the Court. Subject to such undertaking, the application is taken up for hearing through video conference. Having considered the materials on record and bearing in mind the prima facie involvement of the petitioner in the alleged gang rape of the victim, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.

Trial court is directed to take necessary steps for disposal of DNA examination in accordance with law at the earliest. (Abhijit Gangopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
