¶2The case of the prosecution is that when the defacto complainant was alone in her house, the petitioner trespassed into her house and forcibly committed the offence of rape and theft of her thali chain. Hence, the case.

¶3The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner has been falsely implicated in this case and that he has not committed any offence as alleged by the prosecution. He further submitted that the petitioner is in custody since 22.05.2026 and he is ready to abide by any stringent conditions that may be imposed by this Court. Hence, he prays for grant of bail to the Petitioner.

¶4Per contra, the learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the Respondent Police reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that the petitioner trespassed into house of the defacto complainant and committed the offence of rape and snatched her thali chain. The petitioner has six previous cases pending against him out of which five are similar in nature and investigation is not yet completed in this case. Hence, he opposed the grant of bail to the Petitioner.
