Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherji Mr. Partha Pratim Das Mrs. Manasi Roy ... for the State.

Petitioners seek bail.

Learned Advocate appearing for the petitioners submits that the petitioners are in custody for 95 days. The police filed charge-sheet and, therefore, further detention of the petitioners is not required.

Learned Advocate appearing for the State submits that charge-sheet was filed under Section 304B of the Indian penal Code. The victim suffered some burn injuries. There are statements of the brother of the victim made before the doctor suggesting that the death was suicidal in nature. Considering the gravity of the offence and the involvement of the petitioners therein and considering the fact that the police filed charge-sheet, inter alia, under Section 304B of the Indian Penal Code and considering the period of detention of the petitioners, we grant bail to the petitioners. Accordingly, the petitioners be released on bail upon furnishing a Bond of Rs. 10,000/- each with two sureties of like

amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat, Nadia subject to the condition that during bail they shall appear before the learned trial court on every date of hearing and shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioners fail to comply with the conditions as enshrined hereinbefore, it is open to the trial court to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court.

The application for bail being CRM (DB) 633 of 2022 is, thus, disposed of.
