Learned counsel for the State, after perusal of the case diary, submits that there is a statement of independent witness which would indicate that there had been quarrels between the

It is further submitted that the post-mortem report also indicates that the death was on account of asphyxia by pressing of the neck and the body was found in a sack near the house of the present petitioner. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and the materials available in the case diary, I am not inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner. It is, accordingly, rejected. However, the petitioner will be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after framing of charge.
