And In the matter of : Mehebub Hoque @ Bappa ……Petitioner. Mr. Tapodip Gupta Ms. Usashi Chattopadhyay Mr. Golam Ahammed ……for the Petitioner. Mr. Rajendra Banerjee, Ld. APP Mr. P. Karan Singh ……for the State. Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner is in custody for about 10 months, charge sheet has already been submitted and the marriage was solemnized about two years prior to the date of the incident. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. I have taken into account the post-mortem report as well as the evidence of the other witnesses. Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that trial would take some time, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. 2 Accordingly, prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, Mehebub Hoque @ Bappa shall furnish bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand Only) with two sureties of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand Only) each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of Learned ACJM, Lalbagh, Murshidabad. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Murshidabad without the prior permission of the learned Court. Thus, CRM (M) 2833 of 2025 is allowed. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
