¶17

that a report has been called for from the learned Trial Court, and from the perusal of the said report, it appears that all the prosecution evidence has already been recorded and the statement of the accused has also been recorded. At present, the case is pending for defence evidence.

¶18

5. It is further submitted that the petitioner has filed a supplementary affidavit annexing the depositions of the witnesses. From the perusal of the evidence of the informant, it transpires that he has named the petitioner only on the basis that the marriage of the deceased was fixed with him and that he had given a mobile phone to her. During the course of investigation, the petitioner is stated to have made a confessional statement admitting that he was carrying a knife, had called the deceased to meet him, and had cut her throat with the said knife, which was subsequently recovered on his disclosure. Moreover, the trial is at its fag end.

¶19

6. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances, I am not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage which is accordingly rejected.

7. The learned Trial Court is directed to conclude the trial within a period of three months. The petitioner shall be at liberty to renew his prayer for bail after three months, if the trial
