It is further submitted petitioner is a distant relation of the husband of the deceased lady and did not play any role in her matrimonial life. Investigation is complete.

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

Learned advocate appearing for the de-facto complainant also opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Victim suffered homicidal death at the matrimonial home. Statements of witnesses recorded under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure show petitioner and other co-accuseds were present at the time of occurrence. In view of the aforesaid clinching materials on record

including the post-mortem report which discloses homicidal death, we are of the opinion this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

The application for bail is thus rejected.
