as (Allowed) C.R.M. (DB) 1993 of 2022 In Re:- An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Ranaghat P. S. Case No.462 of 2021 dated 24.11.2021 under Sections 498A/304B of the Indian Penal Code.

In the matter of : Rafikul Mondal @ Rafikul Mandal. .... Petitioner.

Ms. Minoti Gomes.

...for the Petitioner.

Mr. P. K. Datta, ld. A.P.P., Mr. Santanu Deb Roy.

...for the State.

Heard the learned Counsels appearing on behalf of the parties.

Petitioner is in custody for about 212 days. It is further submitted he used to work abroad and has been falsely implicated in the instant case.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail.

We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses show there was dispute between the couple as the husband suspected fidelity of his wife. Keeping in mind the aforesaid fact and the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner. Accordingly, the petitioner shall 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Ranaghat,

Nadia subject to condition that the petitioner shall appear before the trial court on every date of hearing until further orders and shall not intimidate witnesses 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 his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Ananya Bandyopadhyay,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
