The prosecution story in brief is that on 22.12.2024 to 24.12.2024 the present applicant was quarreling with his wife due to which the wife of the applicant along with her 14-month daughter went from the house of applicant to forest area thereafter the wife of the applicant and his daughter were found hanged in the forest area thereafter the father of applicant lodged First Information Report before the Police of Police Station Rajpur. After completion of investigation the Police of Police Station has submitted charge-sheet against present applicant for offence punishable under Section 108 of B.N.S 3. Learned counsel for the applicant submits that the present applicant has been falsely implicated in the case. It appears from the First Information Report that at the time of the incident, the applicant was under the influence of alcohol. However, the applicant has been implicated only on the allegation that he used to assault his wife and, on that basis, it is alleged that his wife committed suicide. It is further submitted that there is no iota of evidence available on record to connect the applicant with the commission of the alleged offence. The applicant has been in judicial custody since 06.01.2025. He is a permanent resident of the address mentioned in the cause title of the application and there is no likelihood of his absconding or tampering with the prosecution witnesses. The applicant is ready to furnish adequate surety and shall abide by all the terms and conditions which may be imposed by this Hon’ble Court. 4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the bail application and submits that from 22.12.2024 to 24.12.2024, the applicant was continuously quarrelling with his wife, due to which she, along with her 3 14-month-old daughter, left the house and later both were found hanging in a forest area. It is further submitted that during postmortem, injuries were also found on the body of the deceased. Therefore, looking to the seriousness of the allegations, the State opposes the bail application. 5. I have heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the case- diary. 6. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, the nature of allegations, the fact that the applicant has no criminal antecedents, that the charge-sheet has already been filed, that the applicant has remained in judicial custody since 06.01.2025, and that the conclusion of the trial is likely to take some time, this Court is inclined to grant regular bail to the applicant. Accordingly, the bail application is allowed. 7. Let applicant, Panesar @ Parmeshwar, involved in Crime No.07/2025, registered at Police Station - Rajpur District - Balrampur Ramanujganj, (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Section 108 of the BNS, be released on bail on furnishing personal bond with two local sureties in the like sum to the satisfaction of the Court concerned with the following conditions:- (i) The applicant shall file an undertaking to the effect that he shall not seek any adjournment on the dates fixed for evidence when the witnesses are present in court. In case of default of this condition, it shall be open for the trial court to treat it as abuse of liberty of bail and pass orders in accordance with law. (ii) The applicant shall remain present before the trial court on each date fixed, either personally or through her counsel. In case of his absence, without sufficient cause, the trial court may proceed against him under Section 269 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. 4 (iii) In case, the applicant misuses the liberty of bail during trial and in order to secure him presence, proclamation under Section 84 of BNSS. is issued and the applicant fails to appear before the Court on the date fixed in such proclamation, then, the trial court shall initiate proceedings against him, in accordance with law, under Section 209 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. (iv) The applicant shall remain present, in person, before the trial court on the dates fixed for (i) opening of the case, (ii) framing of charge and (iii) recording of statement under Section 351 of BNSS.

Office is directed to provide a certified copy of this order to the trial Court concerned for necessary information and compliance forthwith. Sd/- (Ramesh Sinha) Chief Justice vaibhav
