04. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 27.08.2024 and the charges have been framed against him. The petitioner would not interfere with the trial in any manner and there is no substantive material against him. The petitioner has got no criminal history.

Thereafter, the dead body of the deceased was recovered. Learned counsel further submits that the trial has started in this case.

06. Having regard to the facts and circumstances and submission made on behalf of the parties, I do not think any fresh ground has been brought forward to consider the prayer for bail of the petitioner as his prayer for bail was earlier rejected vide order dated order dated 22.03.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. No. 74 of 2025. Therefore, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Hence, his prayer for bail is rejected. (Arun Kumar Jha, J) Ashish/- U T
