Having heard learned counsel for the parties and upon perusal of the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Rajesh Kumar Sharma Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : G.A. Nadeem .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And 3 Others .....Opposite Party(s) material on record, this Court prima facie finds that during trial the informant and the victim were examined as PW-1 and PW-2 respectively. PW-1 has supported the prosecution version and deposed that the applicant along with two others committed rape upon the victim. The victim (PW-2), in her testimony before the trial court, has also alleged that she was subjected to rape by the applicant and two others. The victim is minor. The accusations are grave in nature. 7. Considering the nature and gravity of accusations, the specific role assigned to the applicant and the evidence available on record, this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the applicant. 8. Accordingly, the bail application of the applicant is rejected. 9. It is made clear that the observations made in this order shall have no bearing on the merits of the case. 10. The trial Court shall make earnest endeavour to expedite the proceedings of trial and conclude the same at the earliest without granting any adjournment to either parties. 11.
