And In the matter of: Param Das @ Paran Das Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury Ms. Tripti Pandey Mr. Aritra Sinha Mr. Biswajit Goswami ...for the Petitioner Md. Adil Badar Mr. J. I. Hossain ....for the State

1. Heard learned lawyers for the parties.

2. Petitioner is in custody for seventy five days. He submits there is no material connecting him with the murder.

3. Learned lawyer for the State submits that petitioner had absconded and proclamation was issued. Subsequently, he appeared before the Court and trial is in progress. Petitioner had motive to commit the crime.

4. We have considered the materials on record.

5. Petitioner had absconded for a protracted period of time. Warrant of arrest and proclamation were issued against him. Subsequently, he appeared before the Trial Court & was taken into custody. Statements of witnesses show petitioner owed money from the deceased and had motive to commit the crime. Trial is in progress.

6. In view of the conduct of the petitioner which had resulted in protraction of trial and as there is chance of abscondence if petitioner

is released on bail, we are of the opinion this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner.

7. The application for bail, is thus, rejected. (Gaurang Kanth, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
