According to the prosecution, the petitioner is facing trial in aforesaid FIR, on the allegation of murder of one Manoj. Learned counsel inter alia contends that petitioner was named in the aforesaid FIR, only on the basis of suspicion. The material witnesses have turned hostile. Petitioner is in custody since 14.04.2018. Conclusion of trial may take sufficient long time. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in jail.
