This judgment in the centre: on the left the decisions it cites, on the right the decisions citing it. Colour is the treatment; choose a decision to open it.
1. Learned Advocate for the petitioner submits that the petitioner surrendered on 22.05.2026 and since then he is in custody. There are accusations against the brother of the present petitioner. Petitioner was employed at a different location and as such was unaware regarding the day to day family affairs.
2. Learned advocate for the State opposes the prayer for bail and produced the Case Diary.
3. I have taken into account the statements. There are specific accusations for demand of dowry as well as mental and physical torture. On an assessment of the post-mortem report I find that the opinion of the doctor so far as the cause of death is concerned the same relates to consumption of some substance. Post-mortem report do not reflect any infliction of physical injury.
4. Having considered the same, the period of detention of the present petitioner and that the petitioner has made himself available before the jurisdictional Court I am of the view that further custodial detention of the petitioner is unwarranted. As such prayer for bail is allowed.
1. Accordingly, Petitioner, namely, PPP shall furnish 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 Learned Special Judge (POCSO Act), Krishnagar, Nadia.
2. If on bail, petitioner shall be physically present on each and every date fixed before the learned Trial Court and shall not leave the jurisdiction of District of Nadia without the prior permission of the learned Special Court. However, the petitioner shall not enter into the jurisdiction of Chapra Police Station and would meet with the Officer-in-Charge of the concerned Police Station where he would reside once in a month till the evidence of the vulnerable witnesses is concluded.
3. Accordingly, CRM (M) 2130 of 2026 is allowed.
4. Memo of evidence submitted be kept with the record.
5. All parties shall act in terms of server copy of the order downloaded from the official website of this Court.
6. Urgent photostat certified copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
