20.06.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 1895 of 2022 sl no. 47 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Uluberia PS case no. 77/2020 dated 24.2.2020 under sections 302/34 IPC And In Re : Anup Dalui @ Anup Dolui & Anr.

........ petitioners Mr. A Nayek ...... for the petitioners Mr. Sudip Ghosh Mr. Apurba Kr. Datta ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for more than 500 days. He prays for bail.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered evidence on record. We note that delay in the matter is due to abscondence of co-accused persons. Statements of eye-witnesses prima facie implicate the petitioner in the murder.

In view of the aforesaid facts and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
