...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for more than 500 days. He submits there is slow progress in the trial. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is the husband of the victim. Victim suffered homicidal death at the matrimonial home. Post mortem report shows that the victim was strangulated to death.

In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials on record and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Trial court is requested to consider the issue of framing of charge and in the event charge is framed to take the matter to

its logical conclusion without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
