01.
1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
2. This is a bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioner for grant of bail in connection with Malkangiri PS Case No.289 of 2025 corresponding to GR Case No.359 of 2025 pending in the file of learned SDJM, Malkangiri for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 85/108 of BNS on the main allegation of abetting commission of suicide of his wife by subjecting her to torture and cruelty.
3. Heard, Mr. Deepak Kumar Panda, learned counsel for the petitioner and Mr. A.Pradhan, learned Additional Public Prosecutor in the present matter and perused the record including the documents supplied by
learned counsel for the petitioner in the form of copy of charge sheet, copy of PM report and statement of four witnesses. p. 2
4. On a perusal of the documents which are produced for the petitioner reveals that there are 13 charge sheet witnesses, but the counsel for the petitioner has provided only the statement of 04 witnesses. Besides, it appears from the PM report that the deceased had sustained some injuries on her person, but learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the deceased had sustained only two injuries, however, the PM report reveals more than two injuries on the person of the deceased.
5. In such view of the matter and after having considered the rival submissions and on going through the documents produced by the petitioner which are incomplete documents, this Court does not feel it proper to grant bail to the petitioner by perusing such incomplete documents.
6. Hence, the bail application of the petitioner stands rejected. The petitioner is, however, at liberty to renew his prayer for bail by producing complete set of documents.
Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of.
7. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules.
