In the course of hearing, Mr. Bibhu Prasad Tripathy, learned Sr. counsel who is being assisted by Mr. Partha Agrawal, learned counsel for the Petitioner submits that there is in fact no eye witness to the occurrence, but the Petitioner has been implicated in this case on the basis of irrelevant materials and the witnesses so far examined, have not deposed anything substantial against the Petitioner and, therefore, the Petitioner having detained in custody may kindly be granted bail. 3.1. On the other hand, Mr. S.C. Pradhan, learned Addl. PP by placing the evidence of some witnesses prays to reject the bail application of the Petitioner. 4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences alleged against the petitioner vis-à-vis the allegations sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the evidence of the witnesses so far examined keeping in view the materials collected in support of the allegation against the Petitioner and taking into account the specific allegation against the Petitioner for assaulting the deceased and trial being going on with examination of IO only being awaited as per the submission of the learned Sr. Counsel, this Court does not consider it proper to interfere in the matter & grant bail to the Petitioner. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. It is, however, open to the Petitioner to renew his prayer for bail, if the trial is not concluded within six months hence. 5. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately transmitted to the learned trial Court. (G. Satapathy) Judge Priyajit Designation: Sr. Stenographer
