In the matter of : Ramkrishna Talukdar @ Partha. ... Petitioner.

Mr. Debasis Kar.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Arijit Ganguly, Mr. Sanjib Kr. Dan.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for more than five years. He submits there is no direct evidence connecting him with the murder. Trial is in progress. He prays for bail. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner was the paramour of the victim lady. He was last seen with the victim prior to her death. Victim had been strangulated to death. On his leading statement, ligature used to strangulate the victim i.e. orna was recovered.

In view of the aforesaid incriminating materials on record and as trial is in progress, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is rejected.

Trial court is requested to expedite the trial and conclude the same at an early date preferably within one year from the

next date fixed for recording evidence without granting any unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties. (Partha Sarathi Sen,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
