¶2The case of the prosecution is that petitioner along with other accused attacked the deceased and her minor daughter using knife and committed a murder. Subsequently, they stolen the deceased jewels and flew away from the place of occurrence. Hence, the case.

¶3Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner submitted that the petitioner is an innocent person and he has been falsely implicated in this case. He would further submit that the petitioner was arrested and is in judicial custody from 29.09.2025. Hence, he prayed to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶4The learned Government Advocate (Crl.Side) appearing for the respondent police submitted that investigation in this case is pending and co-accused in this case was enlarged on bail. However, he opposed to grant bail to the petitioner.

¶5Heard both sides and perused the materials available on record.

¶6Considering the rival submissions made by the learned counsel on either side, the nature of the offences, considering the fact that material part of investigation in this case is already completed, taking into consideration the period of incarceration undergone by the petitioner, this Court is inclined to grant bail to the petitioner, subject to certain conditions.
