2.

The learned counsel for the petitioner submitted that the entire case is based on circumstantial evidence and even if the petitioner is released on bail, there is no chance to tamper with prosecution evidence. Per contra, the learned Additional Public Prosecutor representing the State submitted that the trial Court posted the matter to 25.9.2017 to fix the schedule for trial of the case; therefore, it is not the stage to grant bail to the petitioner. 3.

The case of the prosecution is that the petitioner along with accused No.2 kidnapped 12 years boy, who is the son of the de facto complainant and demanded huge amount towards ransom. On the ground that the mother of the boy did not respond properly, the petitioner and accused No.2 killed the boy. 4.
