Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner was arrested on 31.10.2025 and since then he is in custody. Marriage was solemnized four years prior to the incident and the case of the prosecution is based on the factum of the deceased having been administered poison which resulted in her death. He further submits that charge sheet has already been submitted and the petitioner as such may be released on bail as there is no possibility of the trial being taken to its logical conclusion within a reasonable period of time. 2. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and draws attention of this court to the statement of the sister of the deceased and mother under section 164 Cr.P.C, the injury report, the post mortem report as well as other materials collected in the course of investigation. 3. I have taken into account the materials which are appearing in the case diary including the statement before the 2 doctor and having considered the same and without entering into the merits of the case, I am inclined to release the petitioner on bail. 4. Accordingly, the petitioner namely Santanu Samanta be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.20,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM Ghatal. If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date of hearing before the jurisdictional court and shall not leave the district of Paschim Medinipur without prior permission of the trial court. 5. In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. 6. With the aforesaid observation, CRM(M) 618 of 2026 is allowed. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
