1. Petitioner is in custody for nine months. He submits he has been falsely implicated. Co-accused is on bail. He prays for bail.

2. Learned lawyer for the State submits petitioner is one of the principal assailants.

3. We have considered the materials on record. As per statement of witness before magistrate petitioner is one of the principal assailants. He does not stand on the same footing with coaccused who have been enlarged on bail. On this score his bail prayer was rejected earlier on merits. On the score of delay we are of the opinion delay is not attributable to the prosecution.

4. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

5. Accordingly, prayer for bail is rejected.
