Based upon report, FIR was registered against the applicant and he has been arrested in aforementioned crime. 3.

Applicant is in jail since 06.10.2024, conclusion of trial may take some time, hence, applicant may be released on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application of the applicant and submits that there is specific allegation against the applicant of committing forceful sexual intercourse with minor victim, on the pretext of marriage, ence, he is not entitled for grant of bail. 5. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 6. Victim alongwith her mother, appeared before this Court through virtual mode from the concerned DLSA and not raised any objection in granting bail to the applicant. 7. Considering facts of the case, nature of allegations, submission of learned counsel for the applicant that victim herself went with the applicant, further considering that there is no any other criminal antecedent against the applicant, charge-sheet has already been filed, detention period of applicant, conclusion of trial may take some time, without commenting anything on merits of the case, I am inclined to allow this bail application. 8.
