The petitioner wants to renew the prayer of bail which was earlier rejected vide order dated 09.05.2017 passed in Cri. Misc. No. 17999 of 2017, on the ground that the petitioner is suffering in custody since 09.11.2016, up till now charge has not been framed and as such in near future the trail is not likely to be concluded. The confessional statement of the petitioner has got no evidentiary value in the eye of law and, as such, the petitioner deserves sympathetic consideration. The learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer of bail by submitting that the petitioner shot Irshad and Irshad stated about the occurrence to his father and others before his death.
