... ... Petitioners Ms. Sreyashee Biswas Ms. Puja Goswami ... ... for the petitioners Mr. Ranabir Roy Chowdhury Mr. Sandip Chakraborty ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are in custody for over 170 days. It is further submitted petitioners have been falsely implicated in the instant case.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner no.1 was identified in course of Test Identification Parade. Recovery of cash and vehicle used for commission of the offence was seized from the possession of petitioner no.2. In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined in granting bail to the petitioners at this stage.

The application for bail is thus rejected.

Trial court is directed to consider the issue of framing of charge on the next date fixed and in the event it is unable to do so, positively within one month thereof and take the proceeding to its logical

conclusion without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
