Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered the materials on record.

In view of the aforesaid materials on record and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected at this stage.

Trial court is directed to consider the issue of framing charge at the earliest and in the event charge is framed the Court shall take the proceeding to its logical conclusion without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties. ( Ajay Kumar Gupta, J. ) ( Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
