01.08.2022 tkm/ct 28 C.R.M. (DB) 2547 of 2022 sl no. 32 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Neturia PS case no. 36/2021 dated 13.5.2021 under sections 302/34 IPC And In Re : Kalipada Hansda ........ petitioner Mr. Pawan Kr. Gupta Ms. S Mitra Ms. Sofia Nesar Mr. S Sett Ms. Ankita Dey ...... for the petitioner Mr. N Ahmed Md. Iqbal Kabir ...... for the State Petitioner renews his prayer for bail. It is submitted petitioner is in custody for 400 days.

Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered the materials on record including the statements of the eye-witnesses implicating the petitioner in the murder.

In view of the aforesaid materials and gravity of offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. Trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
