The applicant, who is in custody since 05.08.2022, has renewed his prayer for grant of regular bail in connection with S.T Case No.464 of 2022, arising out of Madhupur P.S. Case No.195 of 2022, registered for the offence under Section 302 of the Indian Penal Code, pending in the court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Madhupur. 3. The prayer for bail of the applicant was earlier rejected by this Court vide order dated 29.03.2023 passed in B.A No.1763 of 2023. 4. It appears that this applicant has been made an accused for committing murder of his wife. The cause of death is the iron-rod blow on the head of the deceased. 5. It has been submitted by the learned counsel for the applicant(s) that complete set of FIR along with its enclosure have been annexed with this bail application and there is no suppression on his/her part. 6. Innocence has been claimed by the learned counsel for the applicant and undertaking has been given for participation in the trial. It has been submitted that the death was accidental and he was falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. On the above basis, prayer for bail has been renewed. 7. Learned counsel for the State has opposed the prayer for bail. 8. In compliance of the court’s order, a report has been submitted by the Trial Court and from perusal of the same, it appears that out of twelve charge-sheeted witnesses, six witnesses have already been examined. 9. Considering the above facts and the period of custody, I am inclined to enlarge the applicant on bail. Accordingly, the applicant, named above, is directed to be released on bail, on furnishing bail bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Sessions Judge-I, Madhupur in connection with S.T Case No.464 of 2022, arising out of Madhupur P.S.
