02.04.2025 Item No.42 Ct.No.34 rc.

Reject C.R.M. (DB) 499 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure read with Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, in connection with Tarakeswar Police Station Case No. 48 of 2023 dated 06.03.2022 under Sections 498A/302 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re :

Sk. Abdul Ohab ... Petitioner Mr. Kaushik Choudhury Ms. Irina Mullick ... for the Petitioners The petitioner is in custody for more than three years and seeks bail primarily on the ground of detention and slow progress in trial.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for considerable period of time. Progress of the trial is slow. His further detention is not required.

Vehemently opposing the prayer and producing the Case Diary, learned counsel for the State submits that the postmortem report of the victim indicates that the victim expired due to effects of antemortem injuries. The son of the victim has implicated the petitioner in his statement recorded during investigation.

I have considered the material on record.

This is a case of gruesome murder of the victim allegedly committed by the petitioner who is her husband. Incriminating material has transpired against the petitioner during investigation.

Upon consideration of the same, this Court is not inclined to release the petitioner on bail at this stage. Accordingly, the petitioner's prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

Case Diary is returned.

The application is disposed of.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
