% 15.01.2019 The petitioner is facing trial in the court of sessions on the charge for offence punishable under Sections 302/34 of Indian Penal Code, 1860 and 25/27 of the Arms Act, the victim of the offence of murder being his own wife, fire arm having been used in the said offence. The trial is now nearing conclusion. He had earlier applied for interim bail several times, his applications - Bail Application Nos. 1815/2015, 1523/2016 and 2413/2016 having been dismissed by orders dated 08.03.2016, 29.07.2016 and 16.05.2017 respectively. He had again applied for interim bail before the trial court which was dismissed by order dated 03.12.2018 in the wake of which decision he has approached this court for such relief. The grounds on which the prayer for interim bail is sought are manifold including that he needs to make arrangement for school education of the children who statedly been shifted first from Jorhat Assam to a place BAIL APPLN. 79/2019

called Dinhata in West Bengal and later to Sujangarh, District Churu, Rajasthan; the illness of the mother; and the condition of the aged father to arrange funds for the treatment and education. On being asked, the counsel for the petitioner was unable to indicate as to what purpose would be served by releasing the petitioner on bail in view of the above domestic reasons. It is clear that the petitioner has no specific objective in mind vis-a-vis such domestic compulsions. Given the background facts, the present status of the sessions case and the result of the previous efforts to secure interim bail, this court is not inclined to take a different view on the above mentioned fresh grounds. The petition and the application filed therewith are dismissed. R.K.GAUBA, J.
