The Applicant has preferred this First bail application under Section 439 of the Cr.P.C for grant of regular bail as he is arrested in connection with Crime No. 131/2018 registered at Police Station Sarsiwa, District (Revenue & Civil) Balodabazar, Bhatapara (C.G.) for the offence punishable under Sections 306 & 376 of the IPC. 2.

In this case, the Deceased was a lady aged about 20 years. As per prosecution story, there was love relation between the Deceased and the Applicant. Both of them had also developed physical relation.

During course of investigation, two letters allegedly written by the Deceased have been seized. Statement of witnesses have also been recorded and thereafter the Applicant has been arrested.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the Applicant submits that the Applicant is innocent and has been falsely implicated. There is nothing on record on the basis of which, any offence under Sections 306 & 376 of the IPC is made out against the Applicant.

Considering the entire facts and circumstances of the case, particularly considering the evidence collected by the prosecution, without further commenting on merit of the case, I am inclined to release the Applicant on bail.
