and concocted. Learned counsel further submitted that as per medical report, the age of the victim is 17 to 19 years. It has been submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the petitioner is in custody since 13.04.2025 and has no criminal antecedent.

¶20

Learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner stating that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of commission of rape upon the victim which is supported by her Section 183 BNSS statement and therefore, the petitioner does not deserve to be released on bail.

¶21

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as also nature and gravity of offence, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

¶22

Accordingly, the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner is, hereby, rejected.

¶23

Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
