15.12.2020 tkm C.R.M. 10411 of 2020 sl no. 63 (via video conference) In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Khejuri P.S case no. 205 of 2018 dated 17.10.2018 under sections 302/326/506/307/34 of the IPC And In Re : Sk Arif @ Suraj ...... petitioner Ms. M Gomes Mr. M H Chowdhury ...... for the petitioner Ms. Z N Khan Ms. Sreeparna Das ...... for the State Petitioner is in custody for two years and 45 days. Statements of injured witnesses and other eye-witnesses disclose principle role of the petitioner in murdering the victim. In view of the gravity of the offence and the prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. However, trial court is directed to expedite the trial and conclude the same as expeditiously as possible without granting unnecessary adjournments to either of the parties. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
