This matter taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual/Physical Mode).
This is the 2nd successive bail application U/S.483 of BNSS by the petitioners for grant of bail in connection with Bhograi P.S. Case No.255 of 2023 corresponding to S.T. Case No.108 of 2024 pending in the file of learned Addl. Sessions Judge, Jaleswar, for commission of offences punishable U/Ss. 498-A/302/201/120-B/406/34 of IPC r/w. Sec.4 of DP Act, on the main allegation of committing murder of their daughter-in-law by subjecting her to torture and cruelty for demand of dowry and misappropriating the dowry articles by entering into conspiracy with other family members in furtherance of their common intention.
Heard, Mr. Suryakanta Dwibedi, learned counsel for the petitioners and Mr. C. Mohanty, learned Addl. PP in the matter and perused the record.
Admittedly, the husband of the deceased has already been admitted to bail by a co-ordinate Bench of this Court in BLAPL No. 2039 of 2024, but the present petitioners being the parents-in-law, are languishing in jail custody since 22.08.2023, but in the meantime, 10 out of 30 witnesses have already been examined. Further, the petitioners are elderly couple and they have already remained in custody for around more than two and half years. In such view of the matter and taking into account the non-conclusion of trial and keeping in view grant of bail to husband, sister-in-law and brother-in-law of the deceased and taking into account the other circumstances on record in entirety including the inherent right of the accused to be presumed innocent until proven guilty at the trial, this Court without expressing any view on merit, admits each of the petitioners to bail.
Hence, the bail application of the petitioners stands allowed and each of the petitioners are allowed to go on bail on furnishing bail bonds of Rs.25,000/- (Rupees Twenty-five Thousand) each with one solvent surety for the like amount to the satisfaction of the learned Court in seisin of the case on such terms and conditions as deem fit and proper by it.
Accordingly, the BLAPL stands disposed of. Issue urgent certified copy of the order as per Rules. A soft copy of this order be immediately communicated to the concerned Court, who shall afterwards communicate the same to the concerned Jail through e-mail for reference.
