Sanjay Roy v. State Of West Bengal

rkd 18.12.2020 Ct. No.28 (Allowed) C.R.M. 10547 of 2020 (Through Video Conference) In Re: - An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in connection with Dadpur P.S. Case No. 119 of 2020 dated 29/09/2020 under Sections 498A/304B of the Indian Penal Code and under Section 4 of the D.P. Act. And In the matter of: Sanjoy Roy ....petitioner.

Mr. S. G. Chowdhury, Mr. A. Das, Mr. A. Bose ...for the petitioner.

Mr. Saswata Gopal Mukherjee, P.P., Mr. P. P. Das ...for the State.

Petitioner is an aged person and the brother-in-law of the victim housewife.

Learned counsel appearing on behalf of the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits that the victim was tortured by her husband and in-laws. She committed suicide within four years of marriage.

We have considered the materials on record. Allegations against the petitioners are general and omnibus. In view of the extent of complicity of the petitioner in the alleged crime, we are inclined to grant bail to the petitioner.

Accordingly, the petitioner is directed to 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, Hooghly subject to the condition that during bail he shall appear before the learned trial court regularly and he shall not intimidate witnesses or tamper

with evidence in any manner whatsoever.

In the event the petitioner fails to comply with the conditions as enshrined hereinbefore, it is open to the trial court to cancel the bail without any further reference to this Court. The application for bail is, thus, disposed of. (Suvra Ghosh, J.) (Joymalya Bagchi, J.)
