¶28

The learned Government Advocate (Crl. Side) appearing for

¶29

the respondent while opposing the bail to the petitioner reiterated the prosecution case and submitted that there are witnesses and evidence to connect the petitioner in this case; and that the investigation of the case is pending.

¶30

Considering the submissions made on both sides, grave nature

of offence, taking note of the fact that the investigation of this case is pending and if the petitioner is enlarged on bail, there is possibility of hampering the investigation process, hence this Court is not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶32

6. Accordingly, this criminal original petition stands dismissed.
