And In the matter of: Rakesh Sekh@ Raksh Sekh@Rakesh Sk. Mr. Sujoy Sarkar ... for the petitioner.

Ms. Faria Hussain Ms. Sana Naaz ....for the State

1. Leave is granted to correct the cause title.

2. Heard learned advocates for the parties.

3. Petitioner is a neighbor of the husband of the victim lady. He contends he has been falsely implicated. Co-accused husband as well as in-laws have been granted anticipatory bail. He is in custody for 87 days. He prays for bail.

4. Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail. She contends the petitioner had demanded money from the father of the victim lady and when the demand remained unfulfilled he abused him and tortured the victim.

5. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of the witnesses show in-laws as well as petitioner had demanded money. Some of the in-laws including the husband have been granted bail. Keeping in mind the aforesaid facts and the period of detention suffered by the petitioner, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

6. Accordingly, we direct the petitioner shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- with two sureties of like amount Signed By :
