of one public witness Jogender was recorded who stated that he saw the deceased and accused Yashpal along with one person in the car near Sannoth Village, Narela.Moreover, the accused Manoj even refused to participate in the Test Identification Parade.Arguments advanced by the learned counsel for the petitioner are that the deceased went missing since 21.07.2012 and her missing report was lodged on 06.08.2012 and the FIR was registered on 11.08.2012, whereas the statement of public witness PW7 Jogender was recorded on 18.08.2012 which creates doubt regarding the story of prosecution.It was further argued that the dead body was recovered on 14.08.2012 and in the post mortem report, no ante mortem injuries were found and also no exact cause of death was opined by the doctor.It was further argued that there is no report of the doctor to the effect that the death of the deceased was a homicidal death.Nothing incriminating has come on record against the petitioner.It was further submitted that the petitioner is behind the bar since 15.08.2012 and the conclusion of trial is likely to take time.On the other hand, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for Bail Appln.732/2016 Page

this Court is of the view that the allegations leveled against the petitioner are serious in nature to the effect that he criminally conspired with his co-accused and in furtherance of the said conspiracy committed the murder of deceased for a sum of Rs.1 lacs.It is specifically alleged against him that he was last seen in the company of deceased along with co-accused Yashpal and this fact has been stated in the statement of witness PW7 Jogender.The contention of the petitioner that no cause of death of deceased has been given by the doctor cannot be appreciated at this stage for the reasons that the trial is still going on and no comments on the merits of the case can be made at this stage.It is also apparent from the record that the highly decomposed dead body of the deceased was recovered and that too after many days of death.It is also specifically alleged against the petitioner that he strangled the deceased with the help of her chunni.It is also matter of record that the petitioner refused to join the Test Identification Parade.Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 4 of 5In view of the seriousness of the offence and the fact that there was active involvement of the petitioner in the commitment of the murder of the deceased and he refused to join the Test Identification Parade, this Court does not find it fit to enlarge the petitioner on bail.The bail application is accordingly dismissed.(P.S.TEJI) JUDGE MAY 30, 2016 dd Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 5 of 5Bail Appln.732/2016 Page 5 of 5
