JUSTICE DEEPAK ROSHAN --------- For the Petitioner : Mr. R.S. Mazumdar, Sr. Advocate Mr. Raj Nandan Chatterjee, Advocate For the Opp. Party : Mr. Shweta Singh, A.P.P. 03/Dated:-17.03.2026 1. Heard learned counsel for the parties. 2. The instant bail application has been preferred by the petitioner for grant of regular bail for the offences registered under Sections 341, 326, 307, 302 and 34 IPC. 3. Learned senior counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is an innocent person and has committed no offence; rather, she has been falsely implicated in this case due to ulterior motive. He further submits that in the paragraph no. 34 of the case diary, the investigating officer has recorded the statement of deceased, wherein he categorically stated that while he was talking to Kamla Devi, the Kerosine Oil that had been kept accidently all fell on his coat, and when a matchstick was lit, his coat caught fire. He further submits that Kamla Devi and one Raj Kumar tried to save him by extinguishing the fire, which demonstrates that the petitioner had no intention to kill the deceased and that the incident was a mere mishap. He further submits that the petitioner has got no criminal antecedent and the petitioner is in custody since 26.11.2025; as such, the petitioner may be enlarged on bail. 4. Learned A.P.P. opposes the prayer for bail of the petitioner. 5. Having regard to the above and also after perusing the paragraph no. 34 of the case diary, I am inclined to enlarge this petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of learned J.M.F.C, Giridih, in connection with Ahilyapur, P.S. Case No. 61 of 2022. 6. It is made clear that the petitioner shall appear on each and every date before the learned trial court and he shall not threaten any witnesses and shall co-operate in trial and if any adverse report will come against this petitioner, learned trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of this petitioner.
