SANJEEV SACHDEVA, J. (ORAL)
1. The petitioner seeks regular bail in FIR No. 64/2008 under Section 302 registered at Police Station Karawal Nagar, Delhi.
2. The allegations made in the FIR are that the daughter of the complainant who was aged 7 years of age had been murdered by someone.
3. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner
has been falsely implicated. He submits that the petitioner has been implicated solely on the basis of theory of last scene. However, the evidence does not support the theory of the last scene. He submits that the brother of the deceased in his statement has stated that the deceased was sitting on the steps of the house of the petitioner at the time when people were celebrating Holi. It is further stated that several people were present in and around the said area and the deceased was talking with one Vicky. As per the statement of the brother of the deceased, he had seen his sister walking away in a lane towards a house under construction, from where subsequently her body was recovered.
4. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that nowhere has it come in evidence that the deceased was last seen in the company of the petitioner. He further submits that the staircase referred to by the brother is, in fact, a staircase in the public street and not inside the house of the petitioner. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner was subjected to polygraphical examination and specific questions were put to the petitioner with regard to the subject offence and the answers were in negative. It is submitted that at the time of polygraphic assessment, Brain Electrical Oscillation Signatures Profiling was also conducted and the opinion of the expert is that the version of the petitioner is truthful.

the record shows that the petitioner has made out a case for grant of bail.
