4. This matter has been pending since September, 2025 and despite sufficient opportunity having been granted to the petitioner to file the said supplementary affidavit, the same has not been filed till date.

Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner in connection with Gopalganj Town P.S. Case No. 749 of 2020, pending before the learned 1st Additional Sessions Judge, Gopalganj, is hereby rejected.

6. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail as and when he is in a position to apprise this Court about the status of the pending cases against him. (Dr. Anshuman, J) Ashwini/- U T
