In the matter of: Sahidur @ Saidur Mondal ...petitioner.

Ms Jeenia Rudra ... for the petitioner.

Ms Zareen N. Khan Mr MFA Begg ... for the State.

The petitioner undertakes to affirm and stamp the petition as per the Rules within 48 hours of resumption of normal functioning of the court. The petition is taken up through video conference on the basis of such undertaking. The petitioner is the husband of the victim and the postmortem report indicates the gruesome manner in which the victim was chopped and killed.

The trial is going on and it is expected that upon the situation that has been brought about in the wake of the pandemic improving, the trial can resume in January, 2021. Considering the gruesome manner in which the victim was killed and the strong connection of this petitioner with the commission of the offence as evident from the material,

including the blood-stained clothes of the petitioner, the prayer for bail is rejected.

CRM 8571 of 2020 stands dismissed.
