The brief facts of the case are that on 21.05.2025, one Hasida Khatun lodged an FIR before the Chapar Police Station alleging that the accused petitioner has committed an offence whereby, the accused person along with another person assaulted her daughter namely, Rosenara Begum with a brick. It has also been alleged in the FIR that her daughter was 5 months pregnant at that time and due to assault with a piece of brick on her abdomen, a miscarriage occurred. It has also been alleged that in the FIR, that the injured daughter was taken to the Chapar Hospital in a critical condition and letter on, she was referred to Bongaigaon Civil Hospital. It has also been alleged that on 21.05.2025, at around 2 PM when the ultra sonography test was conducted on the injured daughter of the informant, it was found that the unborn child was no longer alive. On receipt of the FIR, the police registered Chapar P.S. Case No. 78/2025 under Sections 332(b)/296/115(2)/117(2)/89/3(5) of BNS,2023. 4. After investigation, the investigating police file a Charge Sheet dated 20.06.2025 under Sections 296/89/115(2) of BNS, 2023 against the accused petitioner. The accused petitioner was arrested on 25.05.2025 and since then he is in the judicial custody. 5. The learned counsel appearing for the accused applicant submits that the accused applicant is no way connected with the alleged offence and the allegations made in the FIR are totally false. 6. He further submits that during medical examination of the informant, the
Page No.# 3/4 Superintendant of Swagat Hospital and Research Center on 14.06.2025, submitted a medical report to the Officer-in-Charge of Chapar Police Station, which clearly shows that the reason for the miscarriage could not ascertained during the medical examination.
Therefore, he submits that the accused applicant was, infact, arrested on suspicion without any material basis, as Section 89 BNS is also not attracted to that facts of the case, as is apparent from the medical report submitted by the Superintendant of Swagat Hospital and Research Center. He submits that the accused applicant is already inside the jail for more than 3 (three) months and his custodial interrogation is also no more required. 7. He further submits that the Charge Sheet filed in the instant case also shows that the alleged offence whereby the daughter of the informant suffered miscarriage is factually not correct as the same could not be ascertained even after the medical examination. 8. In view of the aforesaid submissions, the learned counsel for the petitioner prays for allowing that the accused applicant to be released on bail. 9. Per contra, the learned APP appearing for the State respondent submits that there are sufficient materials against the accused applicant before the investigating authority and therefore, the charge sheet was filed against the accused applicant. She submits that the accused petitioner had voluntarily injured the informant’s daughter hitting with a brick and due to that, the informant’s daughter suffered miscarriage, which clearly establishes an offence punishable under Section 89 of the BNS, which is a non-bailable offence. She further submits that the offence alleged against the accused applicant is of serious nature, therefore, she submits that the instant bail application may be rejected . Page No.# 4/4
