21.12.2022 sdas/tkm/ct. 28 C.R.M. (DB) 4476 of 2022 s.l. 18 In Re : An application for bail under section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Bhimpur Police Station Case No. 92 of 2022 dated 17.3.2022 under sections 498A/304B/302/201/120B/34 of the IPC and sections 3/4 of the DP Act And In Re : Smt. Kalyani Ghosh @ Sandhya Ghosh ........ petitioner Mr. Arnab Chatterjee Mr. A Islam Mr. Sourav Mukherjee ...... for the petitioner Mr. S G Mukherjee, ld PP Mr. Aniket Mitra Mr. Saryati Dutta ...... for the State.

Petitioner is in custody for 277 days. It is submitted she is the mother in law of the victim housewife. She prays for bail. Learned lawyer for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits victim housewife was brutally assaulted and set on fire. We have considered the materials on record. Statements of witnesses show petitioner and other in-laws assaulted the victim housewife. Thereafter, she was set on fire. Post mortem report corroborates such statement.

In view of the gravity of the offence, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is rejected. (Ajay Kumar Gupta, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
