As per the prosecution’s case, it is alleged that on 25.09.2024, the applicant enticed the victim and committed forceful sexual intercourse with her. It is also alleged that a similar incident took place earlier on 14.09.2024 too. Based on this offence has been registered against the present applicant. 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. He next submits that the victim is aged more than 17 years at the time of the incident, who has been examined before the trial Court and does not support the case of the prosecution. He also submits that the applicant is in jail since 27.09.2024, who is a 22-year-old boy, only 3 witnesses out of 23 have been examined till date, and there is no likelihood of his case being decided in the near future, therefore, the present applicant may be released on bail. 4. On the other hand, learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that the victim has clearly supported the case of the prosecution. She also submits that the applicant committed a heinous offence with a minor girl and FSL report is positive; therefore, at this stage, he may not be enlarged on bail. 3 5. The victim along with her mother, appeared through video conferencing from the concerned DLSA and raised their objection to grant bail to the applicant. 6. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case diary. 7. Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly looking to the material available on record, the evidence collected by the prosecution against the applicant and the nature of crime, at this stage, I am not inclined to release the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the bail application filed under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023, is rejected. 8. However, the concerned trial Court is directed to expedite the trial and to ensure that the trial is concluded as expeditiously as possible. 9. Office is directed to sent a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge H.L. Sahu
