Heard the parties.
Petitioner has been made accused in connection with S.T. No.12 of 2025 arising out of Dhansar P.S. Case No. 137 of 2024, for the offences registered under Sections 103(1), 3(5) of the B.N.S., 2023 and charge has been framed under Section 108 of the B.N.S., pending in the Court of learned Additional Sessions Judge-VII, Dhanbad.
On 16.09.2024, wife of the petitioner Sandhya Devi committed suicide in her matrimonial home.
It was submitted that deceased was married to the petitioner 15 years prior to the occurrence. It was further submitted that the police has not recorded the statement of children of the deceased and the petitioner. It was finally submitted that statement of the family members of the deceased has been recorded in which they have stated that petitioner used to harass her. Considering the nature of allegation, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees twenty thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge-VII, Dhanbad, in connection with S.T.
