In the present case, from the facts referred above, victim is a minor girl according to her educational documents. Allegations against applicant are that they went together to other places where applicant made physical relationship with victim against her will as well as applicant is prior acquainted with victim and therefore, in case bail is granted to applicant, he may try to influence the victim.

¶4Learned counsel for applicant is not able to contradict that victim has supported case of prosecution, therefore, I do not find any reason to allow this second bail application.
¶5The application is accordingly rejected. However, Trial Court is directed to conclude trial within six months from today, if there is no legal impediment. Order Date :- 13.12.2023 AK High Court of Judicature at Allahabad
