Learned counsel appearing for the State on the other hand opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner and as the PW-1 has categorically stated about the deceased having mentioned the name of the petitioner to be his assassin and wrote the same in a diary; hence, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with the evidence, if released on bail. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be released on bail.
