Apart from this, he further submits that the sample of the victim as well as the accused were taken for forensic analysis but DNA is found to be negative, and therefore, there is no scientific evidence.

With regard to the testimony of the victim, she submits that this is also a subject matter of the trial, however, she has not disputed that the present applicant is languishing in jail since 22.10.2024 and have no criminal antecedents. 6. After hearing the submissions of the learned counsel for the parties, and taking into consideration that the present applicant have no criminal antecedents and he is languishing in jail since 22.10.2024 and has already suffered long incarceration and there is no substantial progress in the trial, therefore, this Court is of the view that the applicant deserves for bail. 7.
