of dated 20.12.2022 under Sections 343/376D/120B/323/325/365/379/506 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Manas Pal ..... petitioner Ms. Oindrila Ghosh ... for the petitioner Mr. Saibal Bapuli, learned APP Mr. Bibaswan Bhattacharya ... for the State Learned Counsel for the petitioner submits he is not the principal accused. He was at the hotel for a short period of time. He has been falsely implicated. He prays for bail. Learned Counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the victim and other attending circumstances show that the petitioner played a role in the crime. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is, thus, rejected.
