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. The learned counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner is in custody for about 110 days. Investigation is complete. The instrument allegedly used in the commission of the offence is dry branch stick. There is no chance of an early conclusion of the trial. The petitioner may be enlarged on bail on any condition.
2. The learned counsel for the State opposes the prayer for bail vehemently. According to him, there is sufficient evidence in the Case Diary. The victim was confined to hospital for treatment for about five days. He had undergone brain surgery. The injury sustained by the victim was serious and grievous in nature. The case is ready for trial since September 11, 2026 is fixed for consideration of charge. If the petitioner is enlarged on bail, there is chance of absconsion and the trial shall be hampered.
3. I have considered the materials on record. It appears that the petitioner is in custody for about 110 days. Investigation is complete. It is true that there was serious injury sustained by the victim. However, as the investigation is complete and the charge is yet to be framed, I am inclined to allow the prayer of the petitioner for bail on the following conditions:
a) The petitioner, namely, Sauniya Roy @ Chhauniya Roy, shall be released on bail upon furnishing a bond of Rs.10,000/- (Rupees Ten Thousand), with two sureties of Rs.5000/- (Rupees Five Thousand) each, one of whom must be local, to the satisfaction of learned Additional Sessions Judge, 3rd Court, Jalpaiguri.
b) The petitioner shall appear before the learned trial Court on each and every date of hearing and/or as and when to be directed by the court.
c) The petitioner shall not intimidate or threaten the witnesses and/or tamper with evidence in any manner whatsoever and shall not commit any cognizable offence in any manner whatsoever.
d) The petitioner shall not leave the jurisdiction of Rajganj Police Station, except for the purpose of attending the court proceedings and shall meet the Officer-in- Charge/Inspector-in-Charge of the said police station once in a week, until further orders.
4. In the event the petitioners fail to adhere to any of the conditions stipulated above, the trial Court shall be at liberty to cancel the bail in accordance with law.
5. The application for bail is, thus, allowed.
6. All parties shall act on the server copies of this order duly downloaded from the official website of this Court.
7. Criminal Section is directed to supply certified copies of this order to the parties, if applied for, upon compliance of all necessary formalities.
