Mr. Bipan Ghai, learned senior counsel assisted by Mr. Deepak, counsel for the petitioner, has stated that it is a blind murder case and the dead body of the deceased was recovered on 28.12.2009, while as per prosecution he was last seen in the company in the petitioner on 24.12.2009. Learned senior counsel has further submitted that as per post-mortem report approximate time of death is 2 to 7 days before the post-mortem, which was conducted on 28.12.2009. This is well-established principle of law that circumstantial CRM-M-29776 of 2010 -2- evidence is a weak type of evidence and can only be relied upon when prosecution is able to prove complete chain beyond reasonable doubt. Considering totality of the circumstances, I direct that petitioner be released on bail to the satisfaction of the learned Trial Court. (Alok Singh) Judge February 16, 2011 R.S.
