prosecution story, it appears that the dead body of the deceased was recovered behind the house of other coaccused Krishna Kumar and this petitioner has no concern with the alleged offence. There is no any eye-witness of the alleged occurrence. During course of investigation, no any consistent material has come on record to connect the petitioner with the alleged occurrence. The entire prosecution hings around merely on the basis of suspicion. A statement has been made in para-3 of the petition that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent. Similarly situated co-accused has already been granted bail by this Court vide order dated 20.06.2023 passed in Cr. Misc. No. 3668 of 2023. The petitioner is languishing in judicial custody since 27.03.2023.

¶17

Learned APP appearing for the state and learned counsel for the informant have vehemently opposed the prayer of regular bail and submitted that there were multiple stab wounds on the body of deceased caused by sharp cut objects.
