This is an application filed under Section 483 of the BNSS, 2023, praying for grant of bail to the accused/petitioner, namely, Bhanupriya Missong, who was Page No.# 2/3 arrested in connection with Bhangagarh P.S. Case No.140/2025 registered under Sections 105/3(5) of BNS, 2023. 3. Case diary received. Perused the same. 4. It is submitted by Ms. Nazneen, learned counsel that the present petitioner was arrested in connection with this case on 20.08.2025 and she was granted interim bail vide order dated 08.09.2025 and her statement has already been recorded and she never jumped with any condition of the interim bail and the petitioner is still ready and willing to cooperate with the I.O. in further investigation of the case. 5. Mr. Borthakur, learned APP submitted in this regard that the petitioner’s statement is already available in the case diary and the post mortem report is also received, however, the cause of death could not be ascertained till date as the FSL report is still awaited. 6. Mr. Borthakur, learned APP further submitted that the last entry in the case diary is of 03.12.2025 and reminder was issued to the I.O. for updation of the case diary. He further submitted that the case is pending since long and the statement of the petitioner has already been recorded which is available in the case diary, though there are some incriminating materials in the case diary against the petitioner. 7. Hearing the submission made by the learned counsel for both sides and also considering the materials available in the case diary and also considering the fact that the petition is pending since long, I find that further custodial interrogation of the petitioner may not be required for the purpose of investigation of the case and accordingly I find it a fit case to extend the privilege of bail to the petitioner. 8. Accordingly, the interim bail granted to the petitioner vide order dated 08.09.2025 is hereby made absolute on the same terms and conditions. Page No.# 3/3 9. Further, the petitioner is directed to appear before the I.O. every fortnightly or as and when required for the purpose of investigation of the case. 10. With the above observation and direction, this bail application stands disposed of. 11. Return the case diary herewith. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
