1.

Petitioner is in custody for 84 days. It is submitted there was a family dispute and victim poured acid on herself. Coaccused are on bail. 2.

Learned Advocate for the State opposes the bail prayer. 3.

We have considered the materials on record.

Investigation is complete. Co-accused are on bail. Petitioner stands on the same footing with the said co-accused. 4.

Under such circumstances, we are inclined to extend the same privilege to the petitioner also.

5.

Accordingly, the petitioners viz., Sandhya Rani Samanta 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 Chief Judicial Magistrate, Purba Medinipur subject to condition that she 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. 6.

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 her bail in accordance with law without further reference to this Court.

7.

This application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Gaurang Kanth,J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
