-AndIn the matter of : Sumit Majhi @ Samir ... ... Petitioner(s) Mr. Palash Bapari ... for the Petitioner(s) Mr. Anpam Das Adhikary Ms. Rituparna Saha ... for the State-respondent(s) Learned advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner is in custody for 99 days and the investigation of the case has already been concluded.

It has been submitted that the present petitioner was in a relationship with her cousin who was instrumental in abating her suicide. According to the learned advocate, the materials collected in course of the investigation reveal that a bottle of poison was handed over to the deceased which was consumed and, finally the deceased succumbed to death after three days of consumption.

Learned advocate again submits that on any stringent condition the petitioner may be released on bail. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that there are overwhelming materials

appearing against the present petitioner and the postmortem report also reflects that death was due to consumption of poison.

I have taken into account the merits of the case and the factum that the main accusation against the present petitioner is charges of abetment.

Having regard to the period of detention as also the fact that charge-sheet has already been submitted and the case is yet to be committed to be court of Sessions, I am inclined to enlarge the petitioner on bail at this stage. Hence, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is Allowed.

Accordingly, the petitioner viz, Sumit Majhi @ Samir shall be released on bail upon furnishing bond of Rs.20,000/-(Rupees Twenty Thousand only), with two sureties of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand only) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of the learned CJM, Hooghly, Chinsurah.

Additionally, it is directed that till the case is committed to the court of sessions, the petitioner shall

attend the Inspector-in-charge of Dadpur Police Station once in a week until and unless modified by the learned Sessions Court where the case would be committed.
