Petitioner, in the present case, is seeking regular bail in connection with Harpur P.S. Case No. 31 of 2017 registered for the offence punishable under Sections 302, 201/34 of the Indian Penal Code. A bare perusal of the First Information Report would show that the dead body of the victim boy was found by the villagers and the family members of the deceased near Shiv Mandir in the village.

The informant alleged that a love affair was going on between his brother and a co-villager girl namely, Muskan Kumari

The informant alleged that he has belief that the named accused persons, who are all family members of Bambam Mandal, had murdered his younger brother and placed the dead body inside the temple.

Learned counsel for the petitioner further submits that so far as the present petitioner is concerned, she is the wife of Bambam Mandal and her name has been falsely implicated only with an intention to implead the whole family of the present petitioner. Learned counsel submits that the petitioner is a young lady having two minor kids who are living like orphan because there is nobody in the house of the petitioner to take care of the minor kids.

It is further submitted on behalf of the petitioner that the learned Sessions Judge has taken note of the fact in the impugned order that the deceased, who was a young boy, was found dead in a very mysterious circumstance and no external injury was found on the

Considering the facts and circumstances of the case, particularly that the petitioner is a lady and entire family is named in the F.I.R., the learned Sessions Judge has also observed that no external injury has been found on the body of the deceased, I am inclined to grant regular bail to the petitioner, let the petitioner, above named, be enlarged on bail on furnishing bail bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees ten thousand only) with two sureties of the like amount each to the satisfaction of the learned Chief Judicial Magistrate, Munger, in connection with Harpur P.S. Case No. 31/2017, subject to condition as laid down under Section 437(3) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.
