The petitioner submits that the entire prosecution is based on circumstantial evidence. The de facto complainant is present before the Court and opposes the prayer on the ground that it was premeditated murder.

Learned Advocate for the State has produced the case diary and opposes the prayer for bail.

We have gone through the contents of the case diary. We have gone through the post mortem report. We have gone through the statements of the witnesses and mode and manner in which the alleged offence was committed.

Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this state. The prayer for bail is rejected. (Partha Sarathi Chatterjee, J.) (Shampa Sarkar, J.)
