Per contra, Mr. Lahkar, learned APP for the State respondent, by producing the case diary before this Court, submits that the I.O. has collected sufficient incriminating materials against the present accused and investigation is going on and under such circumstances, he has contended to dismiss the application. 6. Having heard the submission of the learned counsel for both the parties, this Court has carefully gone through the application and the documents placed on record and also gone through the case diary, with the assistance of Mr. Lahkar, learned APP for the State respondent. Page No.# 3/3 7. The case diary indicates that the I.O. has collected sufficient incriminating materials against the accused. Further, it appears that investigation is going on and some of the articles, used in commission of the offence, are yet to be seized and enlarging him on bail at this stage will hamper the investigation. Besides, the offences are also serious in nature and under such circumstances; this Court is not inclined to extend the privilege of bail to the accused at this stage. 8. Accordingly, this bail application stands dismissed. 9. Case diary be returned. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
