Hence, he prays to grant bail to the petitioner. 4.The learned Government Advocate (Criminal Side) appearing for the respondent police reiterated the prosecution case and strongly opposed the bail application on the ground that still recovery is yet to be effected, as only a part of the gold jewelry has been recovered and A1 is still absconding. 5.From the submission of the learned Government Advocate, it is clear that A1 is absconding and the investigation is in its preliminary stage. Hence, this Court is of the firm view that it is premature to consider this bail application.
