¶15

petitioner is innocent and has falsely been implicated in the present case. He has nothing to do with the offence as alleged. He lastly submits that the petitioner is in judicial custody since 25.09.2025.

¶16

Learned APP for the State vehemently opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner.

Having heard the parties and perused the case diary. From the case diary, it is clear that there is direct allegation against the petitioner of killing the mother of the informant, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for regular bail of the petitioner is hereby rejected.

Learned Trial Court is directed to expedite the trial.
