The petitioner has been made accused in connection with Balumath P.S. Case No. 35 of 2024, corresponding to G.R. Case No.311 of 2024, S.T. Case No.188 of 2024, for the offence registered under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of Sri Sanjay Kumar Dubey, learned Additional Sessions Judge-II, Latehar. Bail application of the petitioner was earlier rejected by a Coordinate Bench of this Court in B.A. No.7164/2024. Petitioner happens to be the husband of the deceased Sumitra Devi, who was murdered by the petitioner and co-accused. It appears that out of four charge sheeted witnesses, three witnesses have already been examined. Considering the nature of allegation and the fact that the trial is in progress, I am not inclined to release the petitioner, on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected. (Ambuj Nath, J.) BS/-
