He submits that the applicant is in jail since 09.02.2026 ; charge sheet has not yet been filed and there is no immediate possibility of disposal of case, therefore, the applicant may be enlarged on bail. 4. Per contra, learned State Counsel opposes the bail application and submits that at the time of incident, the victim was minor and the applicant and another accused had tried to outrage the modesty of the girl at her house.
