...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Madhusudan Sur, ld. A.P.P., Mr. Manoranjan Mahata.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for more than three years. He submits there is no legally admissible material connecting him with the crime. He prays for bail.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. He submits date has been fixed for recording evidence. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner along with co-accused Kaushik @ Kochi had fired the victim resulting in his death. Trial is about to commence. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Trial court is requested to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.
