JUSTICE GOPAL PRASAD ORAL ORDER 3 23-03-2012 Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and the State. This is a petition for grant of regular bail for offence under [STATUTE] . There is allegation that the petitioner came, entered into the house and committed rape. However, the victim has also supported the prosecution case and the medical report supports that the occurrence has been committed. The defence of the accused is that the marriage settled has not been solemnized so this case has been filed. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. The prayer for bail is rejected. However, the petitioner may renew his prayer for bail after charge is framed. SA/- (Gopal Prasad, J)
