The learned counsel for the petitioner has further submitted that the petitioner had solemnized marriage about 12-13 years back, hence, he could not ever think of killing his wife.

Per contra, the learned APP for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for bail.

I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the materials on record as also perused the case diary in question from which the complicity of the petitioner in the alleged occurrence is writ large and there are ample materials on record to show that the petitioner has killed his wife, hence, I do not find any merit in the present petition. Accordingly, the present petition stands dismissed.
