4. I have considered the submissions made by the learned counsel of both sides.
5. The informant has named the present petitioner in the FIR. But on a plain reading of the FIR, it appears that the present petitioner has nothing to do with whatever happened between her husband and Mondeep.
6. After hearing the learned counsels of both sides, this Court is of the opinion that the petitioner does not deserve to be detained in custody. His pre-arrest bail application is accordingly allowed.
7. It is hereby directed that in the event of arrest in connection with Dergaon P.S. Case No. 17/2026, the petitioner Smt. Rijumoni Das shall be released on bail of ₹25,000/- (Rupees Twenty Five Thousand) with a surety of like amount to the satisfaction of the arresting authority.
