Arms Act at Police Station Manesar, District Gurugram. His 1^st petition was

dismissed on 25.07.2025.

2. As per the allegations, on 21.04.2023, on receipt of an information about a partially burnt dead body lying near a liquor vend at Pachgaon, a police party reached there and found a female torso to be lying there. The complainant Umed Singh who was present there, recorded his statement that the torso was lying in a room built in the agricultural land of his neighbor Satya Parkash and when he received information, he had found that smoke was emanating from the said room. A case under Section 302 of IPC was registered. Investigation proceedings were initiated. On 23.04.2023, an intimation was received about finding of 02 human legs in some garbage lying at Dwarka Expressway. On 24.04.2023, post-mortem examination of the dead body was got conducted. On 26.04.2023, on receipt of a secret information, the present petitioner was arrested. On interrogation, the petitioner suffered disclosure statement that he had killed his wife, had cut her limbs, head and had thrown the same at different places. In pursuance of his disclosure statement, he also got recovered the head of the dead body. Subsequently, he got recovered one knife and iron mortal used in the crime. On 29.04.2023, the motorbike used in the crime as well as clothing worn by the petitioner at that time had also been got recovered. The CCTV footages of the places of crime were also collected which showed the

presence of the petitioner. Investigation now stands concluded.

3. It is argued by learned counsel for the petitioner that he has been falsely implicated in this case. He was not named in the FIR and has been

implicated subsequently on totally false and extraneous considerations. His previous petition was dismissed on 25.07.2025. The trial has not progressed much further. He is suffering from 30% permanent disability. He had lodged report about missing of his wife. The allegation that it was he who had got the head of the victim recovered is totally false since PW 20 Ankit Jangid, brother of the deceased in his sworn deposition has deposed that the head of her sister was got identified by the Police on 25.04.2023 whereas the petitioner had been arrested on 26.04.2023 and, therefore, there was no question of his getting recovered the same on 25.04.2023. He had been kept in illegal custody by the Police since 24.04.2023. The CCTV footages collected by the Investigating Agency does not show his presence and are not feasible. The trial will take considerable time to conclude. No useful purpose would be served by detaining him in custody anymore. Each day spent by him in custody has furnished a new ground to seek concession of bail. It is, therefore, argued that the peti
