We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner no. 2 i.e mother-in-law poured kerosene oil and set the victim on fire. Hence, we are not inclined to grant bail to her. Keeping in mind the extent of complicity of the petitioner no. 1 i.e. father-in-law of the victim housewife in the offence, we are inclined to grant bail to him.

Accordingly, the petitioner no. 1 viz. Amalandu Biswas @ Kamal Biswas 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 no. 1 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) 1842 of 2023 is disposed of.
