Public Prosecutor Mr. Parthapratim Das Mrs. Manasi Roy ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioners that they are in custody for about 114 days. Investigation is complete. Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail. We have considered the materials on record. Investigation is complete. Balancing the nature of accusation with the period of detention suffered by the petitioners, we are of the opinion further detention of the accuseds/petitioners is not necessary. Therefore, the accuseds/petitioners, namely (1) Umera Bibi & (2) Jinnatunnesha Bibi @ Khatun, be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.

shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event they fail to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel their bail automatically without reference to this court. The application for bail, thus, stands allowed. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
