4. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the applicant has been falsely implicated in the present case. The applicant has not committed any offence and is in jail since 19.06.2026 having no criminal history. In case, he is enlarged on bail, he will not misuse the said liberty.

6. Having heard learned counsel for the applicant and the learned A.G.A. for the State and upon perusal of the record, this Court prima facie finds that as per the first informant report, a specific allegation of rape has been levelled against the applicant. The victim, in her statements recorded under Sections 180 and 183 B.N.S.S., has supported the prosecution case. The victim is a minor. At this stage, enlarging the applicant on bail will not be conducive to a fair trial.
