S. Saha … for the defacto-complainant Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 5.04.2026; charge-sheet has already been submitted and other accused persons have been granted bail. The petitioner had a marital tie with the deceased who consumed poison and terminated her life. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant opposes the prayer for bail and submits that within a close proximity of time after the marriage, the victim terminated her life. 2 State also opposes the prayer for bail and draws the attention of the court to the postmortem report as well as the statement of the neighbours of the matrimonial home. I have taken into account the overall materials appearing against the present petitioner and is of the opinion that so far as the local witnesses are concerned, the complicity of the present petitioner do not vary with the circumstances under which the other accused persons have been implicated in the present case. Considering the situation and the parity, I am of the opinion that the petitioner may be granted the benefit of bail. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, XXX shall be released on bail upon furnishing 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 the Learned Judge, Special Court (POCSO Act), Rampurhat, Birbhum.
