She renews her prayer for bail.

Learned lawyer for the State submits case has been committed to court of sessions. Date has been fixed for appointment with learned Public Prosecutor.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner is the mother in law of the victim lady. The victim had been murdered at the matrimonial home. Her bail prayer was rejected earlier on merits in July 2022. Since then, case has been committed to the court of sessions.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Trial court shall take steps to ensure consideration of framing of charge at the earliest.
