Adyanath Shil v. State Of West Bengal

22.09.2025 Ct.No.34 b.das Rejected C.R.M. (M) 1534 of 2025 In Re : An application for bail under Section 483 of BNSS, 2023 filed in connection with Kushmandi Police Station Case No.211 of dated 21.09.2022 under Sections 498A/302/34 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re : Adyanath Shil ... Petitioner.

Mr. Mazhar Hossain Chowdhury Ms. Chandrima Debnath Ms. S. Sultana ... for the petitioner.

Ms. Z. N. Khan Mr. Mujibar Ali Naskar ... for the State.

Heard learned counsels for the parties.

The petitioner is in custody for more than 3 years and prays for bail.

Learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer. The petitioner is the husband of the victim who met with an unnatural death in her matrimonial home. Witnesses including the minor son of the couple have implicated the petitioner in the alleged offence. The petitioner and the victim were residing together at the time of the alleged incident. The petitioner owes an explanation with regard to the circumstances which led to the incident, under Section 106 of the Indian Evidence Act. Offence, if proved, shall attract mandatory life imprisonment.

Considering the gravity of the offence and prima facie involvement of the petitioner therein, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage.

The application for bail is thus 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.
