No. 41533 of 2011 but his room was found locked and later on, the victim boy was recovered from a rickshaw. Learned counsel appearing in Cr. Misc. No. 41533 of 2011 submits that except the confessional statement of co- accused Vimal Kumar Singh, there is nothing against the petitioner and the case diary reveals that the alleged occurrence took place on account of love affair. Learned counsel appearing in Cr. Misc. No. 41571 of 2011 submits that petitioner has been roped in this case on account of previous enmity. Considering the aforesaid facts and circumstances as well as submissions of the parties, I am not inclined to release the petitioners on bail. Accordingly, their prayer for bail in connection with Sessions Trial No. 259 of 2011 arising out of Kochaikote P.S. Case No. 59 of 2011 pending in the court of Additional Sessions Judge-III, Gopalganj is, hereby, rejected, at least, at this stage. SHAHZAD/- (Hemant Kumar Srivastava, J.)
