The case diary as called for has been received. 6.

However, the FSL report is available and it rules out the Page No.# 3/3 presence of ethyl alcohol in the viscera, thereby, indicating that it was not a case of consumption of poison. 7. The learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the accused is in custody for 86 days. It is further submitted that in the statements of the witnesses recorded before the learned JMFC also, there are also such implications regarding the taking away of the girl and her subsequent death. 8. Considering the extreme serious nature of the allegations and the non-completion of investigation, despite its substantial progress, I deem it prudent to deny bail at this stage. 9. Accordingly, the bail petition stands rejected. 10. Return back the case diary. 11. With the above observations, this bail petition stands disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
