                   APP for the State.

                                  2.        This application for grant of regular bail

                   arises out of Kotwali P.S. Case No.429 of 2025 registered for

                   the offence punishable under sections 64 and 62 of the B.N.S.,

                   2023.

                                  3.        The petitioner is said to have tried to commit

                   rape with the victim and has also brutally injured her private

                   parts.

                                  4.        The    petitioner     is    in     custody      since

                   12.09.2025.

                                        6.      Considering the brutal act of the petitioner, I

                        am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, this

                        may renew his prayer for bail.
