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 dowry death of his wife namely Rekha Rani Acharya. It is further submitted that the allegations against the petitioner are all false. It is then submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner, drawing attention of this Court, to the deposition of the witnesses, so far examined in this case, that the P.W.1, P.W.3, P.W.4, P.W.5 and P.W.6 have all been declared hostile on the prayer of the prosecution and have not supported the case of the prosecution. It is further submitted that even the P.W.3 who is the mother of the deceased, has also not supported the case of the prosecution. It is next submitted that the petitioner has been in custody since 15.07.2024, as has been mentioned in paragraph no. 05 of the bail application. It is further submitted that the petitioner undertakes to cooperate with the trial of the case. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be admitted to bail. The learned Addl. P.P. opposes the prayer for bail. Considering the submissions of the counsels and the fact as discussed above, I am inclined to enlarge the above-named petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned District & Additional Sessions Judge- I, Seraikella, in connection with Seraikella P.S.
