Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the victim committed suicide after the petitioner had declined to marry him.

We have considered material on record. Victim did not leave behind any suicide note implicating the petitioner. Whether the conduct of the petitioner would constitute abetment to suicide requires to be assessed during trial. Under such circumstances, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the petitioner be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned ACJM, Ranaghat, Nadia on condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing and shall not

intimidate witnesses or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event he fails to appear before the trial court without justifiable cause, the trial court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail automatically without reference to this court. The application being CRM (DB) 1356 of 2022 is disposed of. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
