Order No.08 Dated- 20.01.2025
Heard the parties.
Apprehending his arrest, the petitioner has moved this Court for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail in connection with Bindapathar P.S. Case No.76 of 2023 registered under sections 302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.
The Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons committed the murder of Purnima Murmu and her daughter Nini Besra. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false and the petitioner has been implicated in this case only on the basis of suspicion. It is then submitted that the petitioner is residing separately from the family of the deceased and she has been implicated in this case only because she is the elder sister of the co-accused-Hitlal Besra. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Learned Addl. P.P. on the other hand vehemently opposes the prayer for grant of anticipatory bail and submits that keeping in view the direct and specific allegation against the petitioner, the custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required during the investigation of the case to find out the details of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner ought not to be given the privilege of anticipatory bail.
Considering the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of having committed the murder of two persons in furtherance of common intention with the co-accused persons and the requirement of custodial interrogation of the petitioner during the investigation of the case, this Court is not inclined to give the privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the prayer for grant of privilege of anticipatory bail to the petitioner is rejected.
