Ms. Soma Mal Ms. June Modak … for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Imran Ali Mr. Atanu Ghosh … for the State-respondent(s) Mr. Sayantan Adhya Md. Nadeem Mr. Rejwan ali Mr. Mir Md. Minaj … for the defacto – complainant(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody since 15th December, 2025 and the investigation of the case has already been concluded. Learned advocate added that, charge-sheet has already been submitted, as such, he prays that the petitioner may be released on bail on any stringent condition. Learned advocate for the defacto-complainant is present and opposes the prayer for bail. It has been submitted that the defacto-complainant further apprehends threat of life. 2 Learned advocate for the State produces the case diary as well as the injury report. I have taken into account the factum of involvement of the present petitioner as also the records of the case which reflect that the other accused is absconding. Additionally, it is submitted that 16 witnesses have been relied upon in the charge-sheet. Having considered the period of detention of the present petitioner and the fact that there is no possibility of the trial being concluded very soon, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail on some stringent conditions. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed. Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Khadija Khatun shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, subject to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Berhampore, Murshidabad. If on bail, the petitioner shall make herself physically available on each and every date so fixed by the learned court and shall not leave the district of Murshidabad without prior intimation to the learned court. Further, the petitioner shall also inform her address to the learned court/court in seisin of the case, where she 3 would be residing and shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Beldanga Police Station. The petitioner shall also make herself available at the residence or address which she would be providing to the learned court. The police authorities would be at liberty to give surprise visit and/or cross-check the availability of the petitioner. Accordingly, CRM (M) 608 of 2026 is allowed. Parties to act on a server copy of this order duly collected from the official website of the Hon’ble High Court, Calcutta. Urgent Photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties subject to compliance with all requisite formalities. (Tirthankar Ghosh, J.)
