Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 180 days. The husband was granted bail by the jurisdictional Court. The police filed charge sheet. Therefore, further detention of the petitioner is not required.

Learned advocate appearing for the State draws the attention of the Court to the materials in the case diary. Considering the fact that husband of the petitioner was granted bail in respect of an incident of drowning her child and considering the period of detention of the petitioner and considering the fact that police filed charge sheet, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, we direct that the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only), with two sureties of like

amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the Learned Additional Sessions Judge, 2nd Court, Uluberia, Howrah subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the learned trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event, the petitioner fails to appear before the trial court without any justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail of the petitioner in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed. CRM (DB) 752 of 2022 is disposed of.
