Patna High Court CR. MISC. No.86613 of 2025(3) dt.30-03-2026 2/2 falsely been implicated in this case merely on the basis of suspicion and except suspicion, no other cogent material has come during investigation which suggest the involvement of the petitioner in the present occurrence and thereafter the petitioner has confessed his guilt in the present occurrence and the petitioner is rotting in judicial custody since 18.09.2024.

Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances of the case as well as the fact that dead body of the deceased was recovered on the basis of confessional statement of petitioner, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail in connection with ACJM-I, Hilsa, Nalanda pending in the Court of Hilsa P.S. Case No. 587 of 2024.

7. Prayer is refused.
