16. 09 . 2020 CRM 6605 of 2020 With CRAN 1 of 2020 (Via Video Conference) In re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 in connection with Khejuri Police Station Case No. 36 of 2019 dated 08.02.2019 under Sections 498A/302/304B/201/379/334 of the Indian Penal Code.

BP/BR Sl.12 In the matter of : Tarun Das & Anr...petitioners Mr. Nazir Ahmed ..for the petitioners.

Mr. Aniket Mitra ..for the State.

The petitioners being the parents-in-law of the deceased are in custody for 508 days. The memo of evidence submitted by the learned advocate for the prosecution it transpires that there is material against the husband for committing murder of his wife in order to marry another lady with whom he had some alleged affair. It is also in the memo of evidence that the husband of the victim in association with his friend, namely, one Sumon, committed murder of the victim. From the FIR it appears that during her life time the victim was physically and mentally tortured

on illegal demand of dowry by her parents-in-law. However, there is no direct connection with the murder of the victim and the specific act alleged against the petitioners.

Under such circumstances, we are of the view that the petitioners should be released on bail. Accordingly, the petitioners may be released on bail on their furnishing bond of Rs. 20,000/- each with two sureties of like amount, one of whom must be local to the satisfaction of the learned A.C.J.M Contai with further condition that if on bail they are not tampered the evidence or intimidated the witnesses. They will also appear before the trial court on each and every date of trial, in case of violation of any such condition the bail granted to the petitioners shall be cancelled without further reference to this bench.

Accordingly, the prayer for bail is allowed.

The application for bail being C.R.M. 6605 of 2020 and C.R.A.N. 1 of 2020 are disposed of.
