In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure filed on 27.02.2020 in connection with Chakdaha
Police Station Case No. 396 of 2019 dated 08.09.2019 under Sections
498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And

In Re : Purnima Roy …… petitioner

Ms. Minoti Gomes
…..for the petitioner

Ms. Sukanya Bhattacharyya
Mr. Mirza Firoj Ahmed
….for the State

It is submitted by the learned Counsel appearing for the petitioner

that the petitioner is in custody for 41 days and the principal accused

i.e. husband of the victim housewife has been enlarged on bail.

Learned Counsel appearing for the State opposes the prayer for

bail.

Having considered the materials on record and keeping in mind

the nature of allegations and the extent of complicity of the petitioner

i.e. mother-in-law of the victim housewife in the alleged crime and as

the co-accused is on bail, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner

also.

Accordingly we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail

upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/-, with two sureties of like
2

amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the

learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Kalyani, Nadia, subject to

condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every

date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate the

witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the trial court

without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel her

bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

The application for bail is, accordingly, allowed.
