The aforesaid case has been registered on the basis of an F.I.R. lodged on 27.01.2025 at 04.42 Hrs. stating that he had gone to sleep at the field at about 9.30 p.m. on 26.01.2025. Her second wife informed him telephonically that some unknown persons had entered the house and assaulted with knife. The informant reached home and found her first wife Shamshul Nisha lying in blood soaked condition, the second wife was also hit by knife and she also fell unconscious. Both wives of the informant were taken to the hospital where the first wife was declared dead and the second wife was under treatment. 4. The postmortem examination report mentions four incised wounds and multiple stab wounds on the dead body and the cause of death has been opined to be hemorrhagic shock due to ante mortem injuries. 5. In the statement of the informant recorded by the Investigating Officer, he stated that he had gone to sleep in his field between 8.15 p.m. to 8.20 p.m. on 26.01.2025. Her second wife telephonically informed him about the assault at about 9.45 p.m. Upon reaching home he found the first wife lying in a blood soaked condition and the second wife was found inside a room which was locked from the inside. He cut open the wire- mesh of the window and thereafter accessed the room. He found that the co-accused Shabnam Jahan had vomited and was lying unconscious inside the room and she had suffered a stab wound on the left side of chest. The injury report mentions incised wound of size 5cmX1cm muscle deep on the left side of chest. The duration of injury was reported to be fresh. 6. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that injured in her statement has not alleged the complicity of the applicant. During investigation injured as well as the applicant both have been made accused. In the confessional statement, injured has assigned the role of inflicting injuries on the present applicant. A knife is said to have been recovered from the open place on pointing out of the applicant without there being any independent witness. 7. He further submits that co-accused Shabnam Jahan has been granted bail by a Co-ordinate Bench of this Court vide order dated 27.05.2025 passed in Criminal Misc. Bail Application No.4650 of 2025. He submits that the applicant is in jail since 05.02.2025. 8. Learned A.G.A. has opposed the bail prayer and submits that charge-sheet has been filed against the applicant. 9. On due consideration to the submissions advanced, perusal of the record as also the fact that the applicant is languishing in jail since 05.02.2025 havnig no criminal history, bail order of co- accused Shabnam Jahan (supra), prima facie, it appears that except the confessional statement of the injured given initially and the recovery of a knife to which there is no independent witness there apprars to be no other material with the proseuction and without expressing any opinion on merits of the case, I find it to be a fit case for enlarging the applicant on bail. 10.
