Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there is direct involvement of petitioner in the trial and his name has figured by the recovered victim under Section 164 Cr.P.C.

In the present facts and circumstances of this case and the submissions made above, I am not inclined to grant bail at present stage. The bail petition is hereby rejected. But liberty is hereby granted to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail after six months of framing of charge.

With this observation, the bail application stands rejected.
