Ct.No.28 as (Rejected) C.R.M. (DB) 3997 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Barasat P.S. Case No.637 of 2021 dated 06.09.2021 under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code.

In the matter of : Joydeb Saha @ Joydev Saha. ... Petitioner.

Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh, Ms. Sutanuka Chowdhury, Ms. Sompurna Chatterjee, Mr. Sourav Mondal.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. Saibal Bapuli, ld. A.P.P., Mr. Arani Bhattacharyya.

...for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for 405 days. He renews his prayer for bail. He submits there is no direct evidence connecting him with the murder.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. He submits trial has commenced.

We have considered the materials on record. Bail prayer of the petitioner was rejected on merits earlier. Trial is in progress.

In view of the aforesaid circumstances, we are of the opinion this is not a fit case to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

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 without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.
