C.R.M. 2097 of 2019
In re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure
filed on February 18, 2019 in connection with Patashpur Police Station Case No.
86 of 2018 dated 24.3.2018 under Sections 498A/304B/302/34 of the Indian
Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.
And
In the matter of: Sk. Nur Alam @ Nur Alam
…Petitioner.
Mr. Amitava Karmakar … For the Petitioner
Mr. S.G. Mukherjee, Ld.PP
Mr. Partha Pratim Das … For the State
It is submitted by the learned advocate for the petitioner that the petitioner is the
husband of the victim and he is innocent and has been falsely implicated in this case. He
further submits that the accused persons, namely in-laws of the victim are already on bail, two of
whom were granted bail by this Court. He further submits that the petitioner is in custody for
337 days and charge sheet was submitted on 23rd May, 2018 but till date copies of the
documents have not yet been supplied to him.
The learned advocate appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for bail and by
producing the case diary draws our attention to the P.M report and the statements of the
witnesses recorded under Section 161 Cr.P.C and submits that the victim was killed by way of
strangulation and the motive behind the murder of the victim was petitioner’s illicit relation with
the sister-in-law.
Having considered the submissions of the learned advocates appearing for the respective
parties and the materials in the case diary showing prima facie involvement of the petitioner in
the commission of the offence alleged against him, we are not inclined to grant bail to the
petitioner at this stage.
Accordingly, the application for bail is rejected.
2
C.R.M. 2097 of 2019 is thus disposed of.
Learned Court below is directed to take immediate steps for supply copies of the
documents and take steps for commitment of the case to the Court of Sessions without any
further delay.
