He submits that the applicant is in jail since 02.04.2025 and, therefore, he may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that the statement of the girl recorded u/s 164 CrPC shows that the accused after entering into her room forcibly caught hold of her and on resisting such act, she sustained injuries and her clothes got torn. She further refers to the statement of victim’s brother recorded u/s 161 CRPC and submits that when he heard the voice of his sister, he rushed to her room and saw the accused caught hold of victim with an intention to outrage her modesty. 5. Learned counsel appearing for the objector also vehemently opposes the bail application. 6. Victim girl along with complainant/informant has appeared through VC and objected to grant of bail to the applicant. 3 7. Having considered the submission of the learned counsel for the parties and after going through the case diary and the trial Court order and further considering the fact that the charge sheet has been filed and the trial has not commenced, I am of the opinion that it is not a fit case to release the applicant on regular bail, at this stage. Accordingly, the bail application is rejected. Sd/- (Sanjay Kumar Jaiswal) Judge Rao
