Order No:-03 Dated:-10-04-2026
Heard the parties.
This criminal miscellaneous petition has been filed by the petitioner with the prayer for modification of the order dated 27.08.2025 passed in B.A. No.7288 of 2025.
The brief fact of the case is that the petitioner was admitted to bail vide
order dated 27.08.2025 passed in B.A. No.7288 of 2025 upon furnishing bail bonds of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties. The allegation against the petitioner is that the petitioner has committed the murder of her own husband by giving axe blows. The daughter of the petitioner is the informant of the case.
Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner has been in judicial custody since 26.01.2025. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that he does not know as to what is the present status of the case and as to any witness has been examined by the trial court. It is further submitted that since the petitioner has committed murder of her own husband, hence, her family members and relatives are not coming forward to stand sureties. Hence, it is submitted that the petitioner be released on personal bond.
Learned Addl. P. P. appearing for the State vehemently opposes the prayer of the petitioner and submits that keeping in view the serious nature of allegation against the petitioner of committing the murder of her own husband and the informant is her own daughter, there is every chance of the petitioner absconding and tampering with evidence if released on bail and in view of
such heinous crime, the petitioner ought not be released on personal bond. Hence, it is submitted that this Cr.M.P., being without any merit, be dismissed.
Considering the facts of the case and the heinous nature of offence allegedly committed by the petitioner, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on executing personal bond. Hence, this Court does not find any justifiable reason to modify the order dated 27.08.2025 passed in B.A. No.7288 of 2025. Accordingly, this Cr.M.P., being without any merit, is dismissed.
This criminal miscellaneous petition is disposed of accordingly.
