Petitioner Mr. Debopriyo Karan ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Soumik Ganguli ... ... for the State

1. It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that there is no direct evidence connecting him with the murder. It is further submitted petitioner has been falsely implicated. Accordingly, he prays for bail.

2. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits petitioner is the conspirator and had supplied arms to commit murder. Firearm recovered from the petitioner matched with the bullet recovered from the body of the deceased.

3. We have considered the materials on record. Firearm recovered from the petitioner matched with the bullet recovered from the body of the deceased. The aforesaid clinching material implicates the petitioner in the conspiracy to murder the victim. Under such circumstances and in view of the gravity of offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

4. The application for bail is thus rejected.

5. Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date.
