(DB) 452 of 2022 In Re: An application for bail under Section 439 of the Code of Criminal Procedure filed on 12.12.2022 in connection with Ghoksadanga Police Station Case No. 189 of 2022 dated 16.05.2022 under Sections 363/365/376 of the Indian Penal Code.

And In Re: Jahangir Alam ... ... Petitioner Md. Sabir Ahmed Mr. Hillol Saha Podder ... ... for the petitioner Mr. Aditi Sankar Chakraborty .. ld. Addl. Public Prosecutor Mr. Kallol Acharjee Mr. Tapan Bhattacharjee ... ... for the State It is submitted on behalf of the petitioner that he is in custody for more than 200 days. It is further submitted there was a love affair between the parties.

Learned advocate appearing for the State opposes the prayer for bail and submits petitioner was a married person. We have considered the materials on record. Petitioner cohabited with the victim on the false promise of marriage. He suppressed his earlier marriage. Under such circumstances, we are not inclined to grant bail to the petitioner at this stage. The application for bail is thus rejected.
