And In Re: Rakib Sekh @ Rakib Sk.

... ... Petitioner Mr. Dhananjay Banerjee.

... ... for the petitioner Mr. Madhusudan Sur, Mr. Mujibar Ali Naskar ... ... for the State

1. Heard learned lawyers for the parties.

2. We have considered the materials on record. Statement of the daughter of the couple implicates the petitioner in murdering his wife. Vulnerable witness is yet to be examined.

3. Under such circumstances and in view of gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

4. The application for bail is thus rejected.

5. Trial Court is directed to consider the issue of framing of charge at the earliest and in the event charge is framed to take the proceeding to its logical conclusion without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties.

Vulnerable witness may be examined at the earliest.

6. Parties shall communicate a copy of this order to the trial Court for necessary compliance.
