No. 65 of 2025 arising out of Kairo P.S.

Petitioner is the husband and as per the FIR, he was found closeted in the room with his wife which was locked from inside. He is alleged to have mercilessly assaulted his wife by brick. After the door was opened, the deceased was found critically injured and was taken to the hospital, where she died during the course of treatment. It is submitted by the learned counsel on behalf of petitioner that this petitioner had also attempted to commit suicide by hanging himself in the said room and could be only rescued after breaking open the door and cutting the rope by which he had attempted to commit suicide. Learned Special P.P. opposed the bail petition. It is submitted that the petitioner is named in the FIR and there is direct allegation against him of committing cold blooded murder of his wife. Absence of motive or attempt to commit suicide by the petitioner, cannot be considered as a mitigating circumstance. Under the circumstances, this Court is not inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail of the petitioner stands rejected. (Gautam Kumar Choudhary, J.)
