This is the second attempt of the petitioner to seek bail as earlier his bail application was rejected vide order dated 09.03.2022 in Cr. Misc.

Since the petitioner is husband of the deceased and it has been submitted that the trial is going and two witnesses have been examined, as such the Court is not inclined to released the petitioner on bail.

His prayer for bail is thus rejected.
