It has been argued by the learned counsel for the applicant that it is further submitted that the prosecutrix was a consenting party and she had established sexual relationship with the applicant. Moreover, there are four years delay in lodging the report and no sufÏcient reason given in the report, which is clear shows the written report lodged just after though. The applicant is in jail since 27.05.2025, therefore he prays that the applicant be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned counsel for the State however opposing the bail application submits that the accused has given the poisonous substance to the victim and the consent of the prosecutrix is immaterial for the reason that the prosecutrix was a minor and thus prayed for rejection of bail application. 6. Having heard the contentions put forth on either side and on perusal of records, particularly considering the fact that the prosecutrix was minor at the time of incident and the consent of the prosecutrix was immaterial and the accused has given the poisonous substance to the victim and as such made an attempt to murder and also considering the statement of the victim, this Court is of the view that present is not a fit case for grant of bail. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant is rejected, at this stage. 7. The OfÏce is directed to send a certified copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary information.
