And In Re : Jayanta Saha Mr. Subhabrata Chowdhury Ms. Tripti Pandey ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Anand Keshri Mr. Mainak Gupta ... For the State The petitioner is in custody for more than a year. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is not the principal assailant and was not seen with the deceased prior to the alleged incident. He has only been named by the brother of the co-accused and wife of the victim. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. Some of the witnesses have adduced evidence before the trial Court. P.W. 8 who is the brother of the co-accused Santu Roy has implicated the petitioner in the alleged offence. Decomposed body of the victim was recovered at the instance of the petitioner. Considering the material on record prima facie connecting the petitioner to the alleged crime, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
