There is general and omnibus allegation against the petitioner. Police after completion of investigation has submitted charge sheet in this case and supplementary investigation is going on. 5.

On the other hand, learned A.P.P. for the State has vehemently opposed the prayer for grant of bail to the petitioner. Referring to the impugned order, it is submitted that as per confessional statement of accused, Sunil Kumar, he stated that it is petitioner who was caught holding the victim's leg when she was being killed by strangulation.

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case coupled with the nature and gravity of the offence, this Court is not inclined to grant anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Prayer for grant of anticipatory bail is accordingly rejected. 7.

However, if the petitioner surrenders before the court below within a period of four weeks from today and prays for regular bail, the same would be considered by the court below in accordance with law without being prejudiced by the order of this Court.
