After hearing the parties and after going through the record, especially the impugned order, I find that the allegation against the petitioner is serious in nature involving committing murder of his wife within the matrimonial home. It also appears that the death happened within a short period of marriage and was preceded by allegations of cruelty and assault, which cannot be ignored. 7. Considering the aforesaid fact, I am not inclined to grant privilege of bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner in connection with Baliapur P.S.
