..... petitioner Ms. Matan Chakraborty Ms. Madhushri Dutta ...... for the petitioner Mr. Aditisankar Chakraborty Mr. Biswarup Roy ...... for the State Investigating Officer is present through video linkage. We have perused the report.

Having considered the materials on record and gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage.

Trial court shall take steps for conclusion of trial as expeditiously as possible without granting unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

Presence of investigating officer is noted and dispensed with. ( Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J. ) ( Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
