August 29, 2025 11 ARDR (Allowed) CRM (M) 920 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Gazole Police Station Case No. 326 of 2024 dated 1/5/2024 under Sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code. And In Re : Suradhani Mandal @ Suradni Mandal @ Surodhani Mandal @ Sureadhani Mandal ... Petitioner. Adv. Md. Wasim Akram, Adv. Sabrina Parveen, ... for the petitioner. Adv. Subhamay Bhattacharya, Adv. Karan Bapuli, ... for the State. The petitioner is in custody for more than a year and prays for bail. Learned counsel for the petitioner takes this Court to the evidence led by the defacto complainant/mother of the victim and the wife of the victim who have not implicated the petitioner in the alleged offence. The thrust of the allegation is against the husband of the petitioner who is the principal assailant. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record. Though the mother and the wife of the victim initially implicated the petitioner, the mother of the victim has turned hostile during her examination before the learned trial Court. The victim’s wife has implicated the petitioner’s husband as the assailant who dealt fatal blows on the victim resulting in his death. The petitioner’s role is allegedly confined to assaulting this witness with a stick. Two out of nineteen witnesses have been examined. 2 Considering the material on record and quality of evidence recorded so far, this Court is of the view that further detention of the petitioner is not required and she may be released on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed. The petitioner namely Suradhani Mandal @ Suradni Mandal @ Surodhani Mandal @ Sureadhani Mandal be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Malda subject to the condition that she shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing. She shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date without justifiable cause, the learned 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 disposed of. Case Diary be returned. All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities. (Suvra Ghosh, J.)
