This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode). 2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Papermelta PS Case No.12 2023 corresponding to GR Case No.448 of 2023 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Malkangiri for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 302 of IPC on the main allegation of committing murder of his own wife by assaulting her with a bamboo lathi. 3. Heard, Mr. Soubhagya Kumar Das, learned proxy counsel appearing on behalf of Mr. Soumya Kanta Tripathy, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the matter and perused the record. 4. After having considered the rival submissions and taking into consideration the nature and gravity of the offences as alleged against the petitioner vis-à-vis the allegation sought to be brought against him and regard being had to the materials placed on record together with statement of the eye witnesses and keeping in view the other circumstances on record in entirety, this Court is not p. 2 inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage, more particularly when the eye witnesses are yet to be examined. 5. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. It is, however, open to the petitioner to renew his prayer for bail after examination of the eye witness and the learned trial Court is requested to examine the eye witnesses at the earliest. 6. Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court. (G. Satapathy) Judge Jayakrushna
