As per allegation in the First information Report the petitioner is said to have pressed the neck of the mother of the informant and threw her into the flames. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 24.04.2006. This Court on the previous occasion called for a report from the learned trial Court regarding the status of the case. The same has been received and placed at flag-X. The report indicates that the matter is now posted for framing of charge in which 17.03.2008 was the date fixed for framing of the charge. Having regard to the allegation, this Court is not inclined to admit the petitioner on bail.
