4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in connection with the present case. It is further submitted that save and except the confessional statement of his own, there is nothing against him. It is also contended that the confessional statement made before the police has no evidentiary value in the eye of law. Moreover, the petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 19.06.2025 having no criminal antecedent.

5. In this case, it is however apparent that pursuant to the confessional statement of the petitioner, the dead body of the girl and other incriminating materials including blood stained clothes were recovered. Thus, the confessional statement to the extent it led to the recovery is admissible evidence.

6. Learned APP appearing for the State and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer of regular bail.

7. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the nature of allegation made against the petitioner, I am not inclined to extend him the privilege of bail which is accordingly rejected.

8. However, the petitioner is at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after six months, if the trial is not concluded
