Report submitted by the State is taken on record. On the prayer of learned Advocate for the petitioner, leave is granted to amend the cause title of the application. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the possibility of early conclusion of trial is bleak. The petitioner is in custody for 2 years 3 months. He seeks for enlargement of the petitioner on bail.
Opposing such prayer for bail, learned Advocate for the State submits that there are evidences of last seen together of
the petitioner and the victim (deceased). There are allegations against the petitioner of causing murder of the victim. The mobile phone of the victim girl and gold ring was seized from the petitioner. He submits that the prosecution intends to examine 29 witnesses and already 8 witnesses have been examined and 12th August, 2025 is fixed for examination of further witnesses. He seeks for dismissal of the bail application. Learned Advocate for the de facto complainant also submits that there are incriminating materials against the petitioner. He also seeks for dismissal of the bail application. Perused the case diary and materials on record. The evidence of the witness shows that the victim and the petitioner were last seen together. The mobile phone and the gold ring of the victim have been recovered from the petitioner.
The post mortem report reveals that the death was due to strangulation by ligature associated with head injuries which is ante mortem in nature and homicidal in manner. Considering such incriminating materials and the nature and gravity of the offence, I am not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected. Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial to the fullest extent and conclude the same at an early date without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. Prosecution is directed to produce witnesses before the Trial Court on the schedule dates fixed for examination of witnesses.
