On 17.01.2024, petitioner took away the deceased with him and on 14.02.2024, the father of the petitioner informed to the informant that his sister has died had. The informant rushed to the maternal home of his sister and found that there was black mark on the neck of the dead body and suspected that his sister was killed by the petitioner. 4. Learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that petitioner is innocent and he has falsely been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. The petitioner is languishing in jail since 21.02.2024. Petitioner undertakes to co-operate in the trial of the case by remaining physically present as and when required and shall not indulge in any manner in tampering with the prosecution evidences or influencing the witnesses of prosecution. Hence, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 5. Learned Addl. P.P. has opposed the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 6. Earlier the regular bail application of the appellants has already been rejected on merits and no fresh ground has been brought. The status report was also called for from the concerned court which shows that out of 09 witnesses 08 witnesses have already been examined and only one witness is yet to be examined. Under such circumstances, I am not inclined to release the petitioner on bail, which stands rejected. 7.
