In Re: – An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of
Criminal Procedure filed on 30/07/2019 in connection with
Barjora P.S. Case No. 39 of 2019 dated 25/03/2019 under
Sections 498A/Section304(B)/Section302 of the Indian Penal Code.
And
In the matter of: Jhulan Sutradhar Anr.
….petitioners.
Mr. S. Ganguly
…for the petitioners.
Mr. B. K. Roy,
Ms. R. Datta
…for the State.
It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they have
been falsely implicated in the instant case and the victim
suffered accidental burn injuries and died.
Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes
the prayer for bail and submits that victim made dying
declaration implicating the petitioners.
Having considered the materials in the case diary
including the dying declaration of the victim at page 38 of the
case diary and keeping in mind the prima facie involvement of
petitioner 2 in setting the victim on fire, we are not inclined to
grant bail to her at this stage. However, keeping in mind the
extent of complicity of the petitioner no.1 in the alleged crime
and as the possibility of falsely implicating all the family
members due to pre-existing differences cannot be wholly ruled
out, we are inclined to grant bail to her.
Accordingly, the petitioner no.1 is directed to be released
on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs. 10,000/- with two sureties
of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the
satisfaction of the Learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Bankura
subject to the condition that during bail she shall appear before
the learned trial court regularly till disposal of the trial and she
2
shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any
manner whatsoever or commit similar offences in future.
In the event the petitioner no.1 fails to comply with the
conditions as enshrined hereinbefore, it is open to the trial court
to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court.
The application for bail is, thus, disposed of.
