By this application, the petitioner has prayed for bail in connection with Page No.# 2/4 Barpeta P.S. No. 69 of 2025 registered under Section 109(2)/118(2)/329(3)/329(4)/351(3) of BNS, 2023 corresponding to GR Case No. 780/2025 as well as to PRC Case No. 6725 of 2025, Sessions Case No. 113 of 2025 pending in the Court of Hon’ble Sessions Judge, Barpeta. The case started with the lodging of the F.I.R. dated. 12.07.2025 by which it was revealed that the petitioner has been threatening the informant and his family members in connection with the informant’s father’s landed property. It was further alleged that on 11.07.2025, the petitioner unlawfully entered into the informant’s house and with the intention of killing her husband attacked him with sharp pair of scissors causing injuries. The police investigated and on completion of investigation submitted charge sheet on 31.07.2025 arraying the petitioner as an accused person. Thereafter, trial started and the petitioner had prayed for bail before the learned Trial Court, who by order dated 12.02.2026 have rejected bail petition of the petitioner on the ground that material witnesses were yet to be examined. Mr. S.C. Biswas, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner has placed the deposition of the witnesses three in numbers, who although stated before the Court that the petitioner entered into the house and attacked the victim by scissors but no one had seen the petitioner carrying the scissors with him. PW2 had also stated in his cross-examination that he had not seen Page No.# 3/4 the petitioner attacking the victim. Although, he had seen petitioner leaving the place of occurrence with a scissor in his hand. Mr. S.C. Biswas, learned counsel appearing for the petitioner further says that the petitioner has been inside the jail for 7 months and that the trial would take long as such has prayed for bail. Mr. M.P. Goswami, learned Additional Public Prosecutor for the State further submits that the case is grave in nature in as much as the petitioner is stated to have attacked the husband of his sister with scissors and that the witnesses have seen the petitioner running away from the place of occurrence with a scissor in his hand. He also submits that injuries were grievous and it was the petitioner who had caused the same as could be reveal from the witnesses in the case. Accordingly, he objects to the ground of bail. On consideration of the submissions made by the parties and on the consideration of the deposition by witness that nobody had seen him carrying the scissors, it can safely be concluded that the petitioner got the scissors at the place of occurrence when there was already a heated argument going on between the parties and more so, the petitioner had been in the jail for 7 months, this Court finds it fit that the petitioner be released on bail on furnishing of a bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- with one local surety of like amount Page No.# 4/4 to the satisfaction of Sessions Court, Barpeta in connection with Sessions Case No. 113/2025 under the following conditions: i) The petitioner will appear before the Trial Court as and when call for. ii) The petitioner will not influence the witnesses connected with the case. Petition is disposed of. JUDGE Comparing Assistant
