Mr. Prabir Majumder ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Arijit Ganguly Mr. Mainak Gupta ... For the State.

Affidavit of service filed on behalf of the petitioner is taken on record.

None appears for the private opposite party despite service. Heard learned counsels for the petitioner and the State. Perused the case diary.

The petitioner seeks bail on the ground that he is in custody for 101 days and charge-sheet has been submitted. Learned APP produces the case diary and opposes the prayer for bail.
