(M) 1202 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 filed in connection with Goghat Police Station Case No. 496 of 2024 dated 05.11.2024 under Sections 85/108/3(5)of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita and Section 4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In Re :

Indrajit Dolui ... Petitioner.

Mr. Niladri Sekhar Ghosh Ms. Labani Sikder Mr. Souvik Dey ... For the Petitioner.

Mr. Bidyut Kr. Roy Mr. Ashok Das ... For the State The petitioner is in custody for more than 100 days and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the victim who is the wife of the petitioner was deprived of her ancestral property by her mother and sister for which civil suit is pending between them. After commission of suicide by the victim, the petitioner lodged a complaint before the police station alleging that the victim committed suicide due to the dispute between her and the members of her parental family and the torture and abuse meted out upon her by them.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. I have considered the material on record.

The mother and the sister of the victim have been examined under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. No independent witness has been examined. Charge sheet has been submitted.

Whether the petitioner or the members of the parental family of the victim are responsible for the alleged incident shall be assessed at the appropriate stage of proceeding. Material available in the case diary does not justify further detention of the petitioner and he may be released on bail. Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The petitioner namely Indrajit Dolui shall be released on bail upon furnishing 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Arambagh, Hooghly subject to condition that he shall appear before the learned trial Court on every date of hearing fixed by the learned trial Court and shall not tamper with evidence or intimidate witnesses in any manner whatsoever. In the event the petitioner fails to appear before the learned trial Court on any date fixed for hearing without any justifiable cause, the learned trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel his bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court. The application for bail is disposed of.

Case diary be returned.

All parties shall act on the server copy of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court. Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
