And In the matter of : Reshmi Khatun @ Resmi @ Rojina Khatun. ......Petitioner.

Mr. Kallol Mondal, Sr. Adv, Mr. Souvik Das Mr. Raja Das ......for the Petitioner.

Ms. Baisali Basu, Jr. Govt. Adv, Mr. Nirupam Dhali ......for the State.

Learned advocate appearing for the petitioner submits that petitioner happens to be sister-in-law who has been implicated in connection with the instant case. It has also been pointed out that the unfortunate incident happened after 14 years of marriage and the same was because of some marital dispute and discord where the petitioner did not have any interference. Learned advocate for the State on the other hand submits that there is a difference between the inquest and the post-mortem report.

However, the post-mortem report reflects that except the ligature mark and the injuries or the signs which are available for hanging are only present and no other injury could be detected by the post-mortem doctor.

Having taken into account the period of detention of the petitioner and the attending materials, I am of the view that further detention of the petitioner in unwarranted. As such, the prayer for bail of the petitioner is allowed.

Accordingly, petitioner namely, Reshmi Khatun @ Resmi @ Rojina Khatun 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 Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chanchal, Malda.

If on bail, the petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date before the learned trial Court in seisin of the case and shall not leave the jurisdiction of district of Malda without the prior permission of the learned trial Court.

Petitioner shall make herself available if the investigation of the case is still progressing before the investigating officer for interrogation or clarification.

Petitioner shall provide her residential address to the investigating officer and also to the learned trial Court while furnishing bond.

Accordingly, the application for bail being CRM (M) No. 34 of 2026 is allowed.

All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.

Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
