PW-4 Yasmin who is mother of deceased and also wife of the present petitioner has turned hostile. PW-2 Ali Husen who registered report has deposed that only on ground of suspicion, he registered a report against Abbas Ali though in cross-examination, he denied suspicion of petitioner. PW-3 Sakir Hussain who is father of PW-4 Yashmin has turned hostile. PW-6 Ismail Ali has also turned hostile. The entire case rest on circumstantial evidence and still police witnesses were not examined. 7. The facts and the material indicate that the alleged offence are of serious nature and role attributed to applicant is prima facie sufficient to consider complicity of applicant in the crime.
Therefore, at this juncture, considering the evidence collected so far, this is not a fit case to enlarge the applicant accused on bail. 8. Considering the gravity of allegations and overall facts and circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to dismiss the bail application of the applicant accused at this stage. 9. Accordingly, the application for bail filed under Section 483 of BNSS preferred by Abbas Ali S/o Joyab Ali, is hereby dismissed. (ASHOK KUMAR JAIN),J MR/35
